Big River Steampunk Festival

If you think the phenomenon of 3D movies is a recent one, an expert in the genre says 3D has been around for about 160 years.

The Hannibal History Museum has announced they're sponsoring a new event in downtown Hannibal on Labor Day Weekend. The first-ever Big River Steampunk Festival will take place August 30 - 31.

It would be safe to say that, until recently, most Hannibalians had never heard of something called "Steampunk."

You may never have heard of something called "Steampunk," but, between now and Labor Day weekend, you'll have the chance to learn all about this unique genre.
