Reopening Week Events: November 3–12, 2018
Honoring St. Louis–Area Veterans
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that put an end to World War I, the conflict that led to the creation of the Soldiers Memorial Military Museum in St. Louis. To commemorate this important centennial—and to celebrate the grand reopening of Soldiers Memorial—you are invited to participate in events honoring local military service members, veterans, and their families. Assistance programs for veterans and active military will also be available during the reopening week.
All activities will take place at Soldiers Memorial, located at 1315 Chestnut St., unless otherwise noted.
Please note that the exhibits St. Louis in Service and WWI: St. Louis and the Great War will be open daily at Soldiers Memorial from 10am to 5pm, or immediately following the conclusion of major ceremonies.
