Discover the pieces of St. Louis’s past in a history-based guided tour

The Missouri History Museum’s Discovery Tours are local excursions designed to entertain and educate. Inspired by the museum exhibitions and programming, these tours explore historic themes at various sites throughout the city and the region. All tours will be led by trained guides with expertise in the tour topic’s field.

The Discovery Tours will begin and end at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park. Most tours (specific information found at each tour description) will begin at 9:00 am. Participants will meet at the Visitors Services desk in the Emerson section of the Museum at 8:45am.

The guided tours will include deluxe motor coach transportation, all admission and donation charges, bottled water and a snack; many will feature lunch. Frequent but generally easy walking is part of every tour. To ensure a great day, wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket. Cameras are most welcome on these fabulous adventures.

To reserve your tour or for more information please call 314 361-9017 or email reserv@mohistory.org.

Special Interest Tours are based on specific exhibitions at the Museum. All programs will begin with a private docent led tour or lecture in one of our galleries or special exhibitions at the Museum, which will be the framework of the tour. Your tour guide will lead you through sites in St. Louis to further explore the topic of special interest.
