- The Ulysses S.

For reservations call 314-842-1867 ext. 223. Hahn’s new book charts the growth of the city from its founding in the 1760s to the present day. It does so by interweaving 40 maps along with short essays, detailed views and captioned illustrations that provide stories and history that are only hinted at on each map. Many different styles of maps are featured— maps for exploration and navigation, pocket and atlas maps, development and planning maps, pictorial maps and fantasy maps. For this presentation, Hahn will discuss a selection of St. Louis maps that highlight the city’s rich history and spark ideas about where the city may be heading. Hahn is a 7th-generation St. Louisan who has been passionate about history and maps since he was a kid. As a student at St. Louis University, he interned at the Cupples House, where he was bitten by the ‘old house bug.’ Since 2003, he has worked as director of the Campbell House Museum, an 1851 townhouse in downtown St. Louis. Hahn has served on the American Association of State and Local History Historic House Committee and the boards of the Lafayette Park Conservancy and the Friends of Tower Grove Park. This is his first book, and it will be available in the park’s bookstore.
