8/28/2021 | Battle of Pilot Knob State Historic Site | Pilot Knob, MO
Come out to Battle of Pilot Knob Historic Site and enjoy an outdoor movie night. We will be showing the 1941 Warner Bros. classic “Sergeant York,” which chronicles the life and heroism of one of our country’s most decorated World War I war heroes, from his humble beginnings in the mountains of Tennessee to his heroic valor on the battlefields of Europe. This movie stars Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan. Cooper won Best Actor Oscar for this role, and Brennan was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. The real Sergeant York never wanted to profit from his wartime achievements and resisted book and movie offers until at the beginning of World War II he finally allowed this movie to be made in patriotic support of his country.
Remember, this is an outside event, so bring blankets or lawn chairs to sit on and enjoy the picture show, which will be shown in the day-use area of the historic site.
