Join Andrew W. Hahn, local author and executive director of the Campbell House Museum, for this presentation about his new book, which charts the growth of St. Louis from its founding in the 1700s to the present day. Mapping St. Louis: A History of the Gateway City in 40 Rare Maps interweaves maps along with short essays, detailed views, and captioned illustrations. Discover maps for exploration and navigation, pocket and atlas maps, development and planning maps, pictorial maps, and fantasy maps that collectively chart St. Louis’s rich history and spark ideas about where they city may be heading.
