Ozarks 250 Block Party!
We are celebrating America’s semiquincentennial in true Ozark style at our Ozarks 250 Block Party on Saturday, July 11, from 3:00 to 8:00 p.m.! The entire Shiloh Museum campus is transforming into a massive, free community festival honoring the rich, diverse tapestry of our region.
We are also debuting our brand-new exhibit, Our Changing Landscape, which offers a unique Ozarks take on America's 250th birthday.
