Off-site Event Join Dan Fuller, Event and Volunteer Coordinator at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum, for a public presentation off-site. Beyond the Gates: African American History at Bellefontaine Cemetery A misconception about Bellefontaine Cemetery is that the grounds were only for 'some' St. Louisans. On the contrary, as a non-sectarian Cemetery, Bellefontaine has been open to 'all' since its beginning in 1849. African American history is a vibrant topic on the 314 acres of Bellefontaine. From Mother Baltimore to John Berry Meachum to Ida Woolfolk, African American history has always been present in this Rural Cemetery.     Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024, from 6:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. St Louis County Library–Rock Road Branch 10267 St Charles Rock Rd St Ann, MO 63074 (314) 994-3300 Get more info and register here!
