STE. GENEVIEVE, MO (KRCU) - Ste. Genevieve is the first city in Missouri to host a Smithsonian exhibit entitled "The Way We Worked."
The multi-media exhibit includes photographs, large graphics, audio and artifacts that examine the role of work in the American consciousness.
Stephanie Bell is Ste. Genevieve’s Director of Tourism.
"It's an overview of how work and work ethic has impacted America over the past one hundred years and how it has changed, and it has gone through some major changes, and you can see that clearly through the exhibit," Bell said.
Each community that hosts the exhibit will add to it by contributing their own scrapbook about work in the local region. Bell says the scrapbook will then go on to become a part of the permanent exhibit.
The exhibit is funded by the Missouri Humanities Council and Smithsonian Institution.
The locations for this exhibit include the Welcome Center and Linden House. "The Way We Worked" runs through November 5th.
