On April 8, 2024, from 10 am to 4 pm, Bollinger Mill State Historic Site will be hosting a free and open to the public event! There will be activities located throughout the day use area, on both sides of the river! Join us for the day to experience more than four minutes of solar eclipse totality!

We will be hosting personnel from Washington University and the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences. They will provide stations with telescopes, and notable planetary scientists will give short talks about the science and history of eclipses. There will also be a booth with planetary globes and information about the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences, planetary science initiatives and current missions WashU personnel are working on.

BBQ to the Rescue will also be at the site with their BBQ truck.

Call 573-243-4591 for more information.
