The current exhibit: "Communication is key during times of war. A military must stay connected to each other in combat and connected at home to ensure their success. The United States utilized media to inform the public about the war effort and how they could help achieve victory. From coded field communication to censored letters back home and the headlines that informed millions\, *Between the Lines* explores the vital role communication takes when a nation goes to war." It opens at noon.\n\nPowder Magazine:\n"The Powder Magazine Museum displays St. Louis County Parks’ core collection of artifacts that tell the story of the history of Jefferson Barracks from its inception in 1826 until its closure in 1946."\n\nI have requested entry to the Laborer's House - if Jefferson Barracks is successful in employing weekend staff\, we will be able to visit the Laborer's House:\n\nLaborer's House:\nThe Laborers' House and Ordnance Stable were built in 1851. The house was for civilian laborers who handled the movement and storage of powder and ordnance here at Jefferson Barracks. After the Civil War\, the ordnance keeper and his family lived here.
