We want to thank the community for your generous support last year! \n \nOur museum was built in 1837 by the Emmert family. It started as a two-room house\, and Emmerts raced horses. Emmerts sold the house to the Zipple family after several years. The Zipple family lived in the house for many years and willed the house to Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children upon their death. The Old Six Mile Historical Society\, under the leadership of Georgia Engelke\, secured the house and 1.75 acres from the Shriners. To this day\, the museum and grounds are upkept by the officers\, board members\, and volunteers of the community. These same people fundraise\, get donations\, and volunteer many hours to keep the museum full of Granite City history and to keep it going. The museum gets no government funding. \n \nDonations\, no matter how small or big\, are always accepted! We thank you for your support! And hope you can join us on May 9th at our event! \nVenue: Old Six Mile Historical Museum\n3279 Maryville Road Granite City IL 62040 URL:https://metroeaststar.com/event/community-appreciation-day/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://metroeaststar.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/12323120158-OldSixMileMuseum.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260508T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260508T110000 DTSTAMP:20260507T034729 CREATED:20260409T125613Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T125613Z UID:45731-1778234400-1778238000@metroeaststar.com SUMMARY:Play & Learn For Babies & Toddlers DESCRIPTION:Play & Learn For Babies & Toddlers Fridays\, March 13 & 27 Fridays\, April 10 & 24 Fridays\, May 8 & 22 10 AM at SMRLD\, 2001 Delmar Ave Questions? Email ys@smrld.org or call the Youth Services department at 618-452-6238 ext 720 \nVenue: Niedringhaus Building\n2001 Delmar Avenue Granite City IL 62040 URL:https://metroeaststar.com/event/play-learn-for-babies-toddlers-5/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://metroeaststar.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/upcomingevent.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260507T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260507T200000 DTSTAMP:20260507T034729 CREATED:20260409T125610Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T125610Z UID:45730-1778176800-1778184000@metroeaststar.com SUMMARY:SMRLD & Nine PBS Present Foodie Movie Night DESCRIPTION:SMRLD & Nine PBS Present Foodie Movie Night Thursday\, May 7 6 PM 2001 Delmar Ave\, Granite City\, IL 62040 Hosted by Top Chef contender Chrissy Camba\, The Grocery List Show is a trip to five bustling international grocery stores in America and the communities they serve. \nVenue: Niedringhaus Building\n2001 Delmar Avenue Granite City IL 62040 URL:https://metroeaststar.com/event/smrld-nine-pbs-present-foodie-movie-night/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://metroeaststar.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/upcomingevent.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260507T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260507T150000 DTSTAMP:20260507T034729 CREATED:20260409T125607Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T125607Z UID:45729-1778162400-1778166000@metroeaststar.com SUMMARY:Story Time DESCRIPTION:Enjoy stories\, music\, and crafts!
