Join us for a FREE documentary screening at the Center for Missouri Studies!

The Missouri Life team and Evoke Group of Columbia, with funding from Missouri Humanities, recently produced a feature documentary about Missouri’s German heritage. The film delves into the reasons why German immigrants found Missouri River country so appealing and settled along the rivers in an area now known as the “German Heritage Corridor.”

The film also explores the rich German customs, crafts, and music, as well as its ethnic cuisine, wine and beer. Join us as we watch part 1 of the documentary, and hear from the film’s producers, as well as Dr. Arthur Mehrhoff, a noted historian whose book published by Missouri Life magazine became the basis for the documentary.
