This free tour of "Mill Creek: Black Metropolis" invites visitors to explore the powerful story of St. Louis’s Mill Creek neighborhood—a once-thriving Black community of 20,000 residents, 43 churches, and over 800 businesses that were demolished in 1959 in the name of urban renewal.
This exhibit seeks to reclaim Mill Creek’s legacy and honor the resilience of those who lived there.
This exhibit is presented by James S. McDonnell Foundation with additional support provided by Bank of America.
ASL interpretation is available for programs with two weeks' advance notice. Please email [email protected] to request ASL interpretation or with other accessibility questions.
