This chapter gives us a brief overview of some of the major events and movements during the 1980s in Missouri. Controversial issues such as Right to Life and the worldwide "green" movement were felt in Missouri. Missouri has also done a fantastic job of preservation, it is home to 37 National Historic Landmarks and 5 Historic National Park Service areas. Missouri was also the sight of Winston Churchill's famous "Iron Curtain" Speech in Fulton. For the people of Southeast Missouri many of these great sites are quite close. St. Louis is home to many of the historic sites along with Ste. Genevieve which has several also.
The Louis Bolduc House in Ste. Genevieve, a National Historic Landmark.
The Ste. Genevieve Historic District is also listed as a National Historic Landmark.
