Missouri History Museum exhibit to showcase St. Louis' love affair with soccer

Historians trace soccer in this city all the way back to 1875.

ST. LOUIS — A new exhibit celebrating soccer in St. Louis opened Saturday at the Missouri History Museum. 

Lately, the CITY SC highlighted how big soccer is in the region, but St. Louis has always been a soccer town. For nearly 150 years, the sport has been in the Gateway to the West in some form.

Historians trace soccer in this city all the way back to 1875. The museum will roll out interactive exhibits, films, and artifacts to "the full spectrum of St. Louis' soccer history," Missouri History Museum Director of Public History Sam Moore said.
