JEFFERSON CITY, MO, AUG. 7, 2020 – Jefferson Landing State Historic Site invites the public to attend Snakes Alive at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11, for an exciting program on Missouri’s native snakes and the benefits they provide.

Tuesday @ 2 is a series of interactive programs exploring various aspects of Missouri's cultural and natural history for ages 8 to 12. Similar-themed programming for younger children, ages 4 to 7, is held at the historic site’s Learning @ 11 programs.
