Join us on May 7th for "These Honored Dead". In this edition of Landing After Hours, Nancy Arnold Thompson and Michelle Brooks will combine their talents of genealogy and storytelling to bring to life the individuals buried under the uniform white markers at Jefferson City National Cemetery. More than 1,200 service members are buried in the eastern one-quarter of the 1000 block of East McCarty Street, which shares a matching outer wall of limestone and wrought iron with Woodland-Old City Cemetery next door. One of the smallest remaining national cemeteries, it holds generations of local history and preserves sacrifices of those far from home.
This program is free and open to the public, no reservations are required. For more information please call 573-751-4127.
