Joplin Memorial Hall — Attraction in Joplin

Memorial Hall is in need of renovation and it looks like an art center is being built in the parking lot which will block the view from 7th Street. We have so much history in this building, and it must be preserved. Take time to stop and read a few of the names on the war memorials. There's more inside in the lobby, so if you get a chance, you should take a few moments to honor the men and women from Joplin who gave their lives in the service of our country.
