Although local celebrations began much earlier, President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed Flag Day nationally in 1916, and President Harry S. Truman signed it into law in 1949.

Thanks to the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum, the Freedom 250 Mobile Museum, a traveling interactive exhibit celebrating 250 years of American history, will visit Hannibal on July 16 and 17.

Welcome America250!! Thank you for choosing Hannibal!
The 1,000-square-foot mobile museum will be parked across from the Mark Twain Museum Interpretive Center at 415 North Main Street and will be free and open to the public.

This immersive, high-tech exhibit allows visitors to walk through key moments in American history with a hands-on approach. Guests can explore interactive displays, engage with a “Wall of Heroes” featuring influential figures (including Mark Twain) and participate in educational activities such as signing the Declaration of Independence or decoding one of George Washington’s spy messages.

The Freedom 250 Mobile Museum is part of a nationwide initiative celebrating America’s 250th birthday and is an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant-funded project, with a core objective of reaching museum audiences, including school-aged and college-aged learners, through engaging, accessible educational experiences.

There are only six identical mobile museums traveling across the country, with two each serving the East Coast, Midwest, and Pacific Coast regions. The Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum was selected from more than 1,000 applicants to host this unique experience.

“We are thrilled to be able to host this unique opportunity,” said Megan Rapp, Executive Director of the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum. “Hannibal has always turned out in droves for special educational events like the LST boats. Anyone wanting to celebrate America 250 will want to come and experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, right here in Hannibal.”

Visitors will find ample parking along the riverfront and throughout downtown Hannibal.

This event provides a rare chance for residents and visitors alike to celebrate America’s history in an engaging, interactive way as the nation approaches its semiquincentennial.

Joe Noonan, everyone! 👏 👏 👏
Working to make the necessary improvements to keep his 1836 building standing strong.
Joe is one of the OG’s of Main Street. In fact, his parents opened Ole Planters Restaurant in 1976. Little did they know that some day, their son Joe and his family would live above it and the restaurant would turn into Ole Wolfhound Pub.
Thanks for caring about our neighborhood, Joe! We appreciate you.
