Description
“JB” and “the Barracks” are affectionate names for Jefferson Barracks, a former military post near St. Louis. After WWII, its buildings became homes for returning GIs, launching the Baby Boomer era. From 1948–1956, kids growing up in JB had unique adventures in mess halls, POW prisons, and tunnels. A photo-filled PowerPoint will share these stories, followed by a short walk to explore key historic sites from that era.
