When you hear the word “underground,” do subjects like cemeteries and agriculture come to mind? Or maybe topics such as the underground railroad and alternative comedy spark your interest?In 2024, DBRL is partnering with the Missouri State Museum to explore "Missouri Underground," including the unique physical characteristics and buried secrets of our state, as well as little-known Missouri events and historical figures. This month learn about Missouri’s distinctive borders, which follow both rivers and man-made boundaries. The acquisition of two unique border areas — the Bootheel and the Platte Purchase — have an especially interesting backstory. Local historian Henry Gensky will tell the story of John H. Walker and Sen. Lewis Linn, who helped form our state’s crooked borders.
