How about a butterfly waystation?
JOPLIN, Mo. – Building a butterfly waystation brings color and an up-close look at these delicate insects.
Join the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) for a virtual program about Monarchs and Butterfly Waystations from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 12.
Register for the virtual program at mdc-event-web.s3licensing.com/Event/EventDetails/220355
“Join us to learn more about how to create a waystation and the migration of monarch butterflies before they quietly flutter away to their winter hibernaculum in Mexico,” said Naturalist Jessie Ballard. A hibernaculum comes from the Latin verb “hibernare,” which means “to pass the winter.”
Monarch waystations provide resources for monarchs to reproduce and sustain their migration, according to MonarchWatch.org.
This is a livestreamed event only and is recommended for ages 10 years and older.

Timeline of Papinville continues from 1820-1847
This week the timeline will start at 1820 and go to when the town of Papinville was established. Many explorers and fur traders came up the Osage and Marais Des Cygne rivers to the American Fur Company. The fur company is said to have been about where the new bridge is located in Papinville. The explorers that we know of that came to visit and trade with the Osage Indians were Zebulon Pike, Lewis and Clark.
