RE: Missouri’s Struggle for Statehood traveling exhibit at Crowder
Neosho, MO – Struggle for Statehood, a traveling exhibit created by the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy and Missouri Humanities Council, partners in the Bicentennial Alliance, is on display inside the Longwell Museum at Crowder College in Neosho until September 25. It will be moved to Crowder College in McDonald County starting September 28 and remain there until the end of the semester. In Spring 2027, it will move to the Joplin Advanced Training and Workforce Center and Cassville locations (dates to be determined).
The exhibit chronicles the three years that the controversy over Missouri’s admission into the Union was fiercely debated and reexamines the lasting significance of the conflict on a local and national scale.
Struggle for Statehood explores Missouri’ journey to statehood and why its application for admission into the United States sparked a national crisis that almost destroyed the very union Missouri sought to join. Audiences will learn about the significance of the “Missouri Crisis” and its lasting implications on our state and nation.
Hours for the Longwell Museum are 9am-4pm. Monday through Friday, closed weekends and holidays.
