Ulysses Grant was born on April 27, 1822, and the nation is now celebrating the legacy of this singularly unique man. Grant’s Bicentennial brings to mind the literature that grew out of America’s most devastating war.

Broadening the understanding of plants in our daily lives
The newly reopened Sachs Museum at the Missouri Botanical Garden seized the day with MHC funds to make exhibition-related programming available and accessible to a wide audience during the second year of the global pandemic. To celebrate Missouri’s statehood bicentennial year, the special exhibition Grafting The Grape: American Grapevine Rootstock in Missouri and the World was able to share several humanities-based content subjects via six online presentations though an MHC mini grant.
