Get an inside look at hidden spaces in St. Louis most people never see!

October’s Unseen STL History Talk takes us underground with historian Chris Naffziger and photographer Jason Gray, who have explored and documented Lemp Cave and other subterranean sites together.

Chris will examine why the city’s underground fascinates us and draws explorers to its caves and tunnels.

Jason will share stories from his book, "Subterranean St. Louis: Below Ground and Behind Barriers," revealing places and histories just out of public view.

Chris researches St. Louis history and architecture, writes for St. Louis Magazine, and runs St. Louis Patina. Jason founded Photo Flood Saint Louis and is the Image Rights Manager at the Saint Louis Art Museum.

📅 October 15
🕖 Talks at 7 p.m. | Doors at 6:30 p.m.
📍 Leviathan Bookstore, 3211 S. Grand
🎟️ $5 cover

Come see St. Louis from a different perspective!

St. Louis is a city with a lot going on just below the surface. This sometimes-secret world includes pitch black tunnels and caves, the long, lonely halls of past institutions, and the ruins of former factories. It also includes the hum of industrial activity, the frantic pace of scientific or cultural innovation, and the maze of infrastructure running invisibly beneath it all.

"SUBTERRANEAN ST. LOUIS: BELOW GROUND AND BEHIND BARRIERS" s explores what exists just out of view for most of the city’s residents. It is a book that is both a guide and a glimpse into a community whose long history has observed plenty of prosperity and failure (sometimes in seemingly equal measure), though whose self-determination and grit ensures its perpetuation.

St. Louis-native and photographer, Jason Gray, takes the reader below the surface of this intensely interesting city with an extraordinary collection of images spanning more than ten years of work investigating the region’s industrial, cultural, and civic infrastructures.
