A brief film clip created by AmerenUE for the Jefferson Barracks Heritage Foundation. Named in honor of President Thomas Jefferson, established in 1826. Jefferson Barracks is the oldest operating US Military Installation west of the Mississippi River and has played a critical role in our nations military history. Hundreds of thousands of men and women have passed through Jefferson Barracks on their way to conflicts ranging from the Indian and Civil Wars, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and most recently, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Jefferson Barracks Heritage Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to provide the citizens of the United States of America a fitting National Patriotic Memorial Complex on the grounds of the Jefferson Barracks Historic District that will celebrate the American Citizen Soldier, Volunteer and Veteran. We will accomplish this through the restoration, preservation and development of this historic site, with its objective to be an enlightening education-centered setting and facility for our posterity.
