2026 Annual Dinner - 

​
The Historical Society Annual Meeting and Dinner will take place on Monday, October 5 at 6:30 p.m. in the newly

renovated and opened Trinity Building Annex across from the Public Library.

Dinner will be catered by the Pasta House.  University City policy does not allow alcohol in the building

so alcoholic beverages will not be available this year.

Our speaker will be esteemed Board Member and former St. Louis County Historian Esley Hamilton.

Esley worked for the St. Louis County Parks and Recreation Department for over 40 years and is credited with cataloging 4,000 county buildings and adding over 40 properties and districts to the National Register of Historic Places.

Esley will present A Vanished World: St. Louis in 1903, an interesting look at St. Louis buildings that are no longer standing but were the height of architectural design and society in 1903. The event will be a rare opportunity to hear from St. Louis’ premiere historian.
