Life on the Mississippi

In August, The Hobart Shakespeareans traveled to Hannibal and St. Louis, Missouri to pursue their study of Mark Twain and American History.

Special thanks to Hal Holbrook, Henry Sweets, Cindy Lovell, and all our friends at the Mark Twain Museum for making so much possible.

Watching the Dodgers Beat the Cardinals

Busch Stadium

The children got to pilot a boat down the Mississippi, attend Mary Poppins at The Muny, saw the Dodgers beat the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, followed the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, Ulysses S. Grant, and Mark Twain himself.

It was great to "light out for the territory."
