Thank you to Peggy Van Witt for her amazing restoration work on our First Ladies’ portraits.

Three more First Lady portraits restored and sealed thanks to our generous donors!
Mrs. Francis (1889-1893 administration) and Mrs. Caulfield (1929-1933) both had paint and frames issues addressed, while Teresa Parson's (2018-2025 administration) portrait sealed with varnish.

According to Jean Carnahan's book "If Walls Could Talk," Governor Samuel Aaron Baker was the first Governor to have his inaugural address air live over the airwaves. The year was 1925, and over 75,000 people tuned in to listen.

Who was the First Missouri Governor to give his inaugural address over the airwaves?

[FriendsofMoMansion @MoMansion]

Richard Brownlee was a past board member of Friends of the Missouri Governor's Mansion (FMGM) and served diligently for many years. We appreciate all he did not only for FMGM, but for Jefferson City, and the state of Missouri as well. He will be missed.
