If you ever visit St. Louis - they used to - I don't know if they still do, do reenactments of the Dred Scott trial in the courthouse. I had a summer internship with the National Park Service one year and got to play one of the character - don't remember what - I think maybe I was in the jury. I was working in the library archiving drawings and it was kind of neat to think I was working where all those old trials took place. They also have a good historical museum in the courthouse - I am not sure how many people visit it or know about it.
