Episode 29: Hamburg, St. Louis, & Missouri’s German Heritage Corridor – Caitlin Yager (Meet Me in St. Louis, Part 5)

While this year's Missouri Conference on History may be over, the Our Missouri Podcast invites listeners to "meet us" in St. Louis for a multi-part series focusing on several projects and institutions that document the city's history and cultural identity. This episode features Caitlin Yager, Director of Heritage Programs for the Missouri Humanities Council. Caitlin discusses Missouri’s German Heritage Corridor, as well as an upcoming documentary on the German-American community of Hamburg, which was destroyed and its residents, relocated during World War II to make way for a military base and munitions factory in what is today suburban St. Louis.
