On this episode of the STL Bucket List Show, host Luke Farrell sits down with Jody Sowell, President and CEO of the Missouri Historical Society, to discuss the organization’s ambitious campaign to preserve and share St. Louis history. With a goal of raising $36 million, this initiative is already funding groundbreaking projects, including the 1904 World’s Fair exhibit, the upcoming Collected exhibit in 2025, and the citywide St. Louis Birthday Bash in 2026. The campaign will culminate in 2027 with Gallery STL, a transformative 12,000-square-foot exhibit that will immerse visitors in St. Louis’ history like never before.
Jody shares his passion for storytelling and his vision for how history can strengthen the community. From Thursday Nights at the Museum to the innovative New to St. Louis program, MHS is making history accessible and engaging for all. Tune in as we explore the past, present, and future of this incredible city and how these projects are shaping its next chapter.
