Thomas Hart Benton was given a lounge to decorate and painted the state as it was, slave auctions, Jesse James robbing a train, a mother changing a nappy, political bosses and lynching alongside the mules and the barn dances. Legislators wanted it whitewashed and one proposed sandblasting it off. It stayed, and is now considered his finest work.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
