Constructing the Red House
Setting the sill on top of the foundation for placement of the vertical logs
The Red Hats are an elite group of volunteers who each put in over 200 hours of their own time to make the Red House Interpretive Center a reality. Without the hard work of these men, women and children the Red House would have remained but a vision in the minds of Jane Randol Jackson, Linda Nash and Dr. Frank Nickell, the founding members of the Cape Girardeau District Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Committee.

Red Hats can be recognized by their signature Red Berets!
If you would like to learn more about the construction of the Red House, visit the Center and watch the movie on the making of the Red House.

The bronze plaque seen in the above picture honors all of the volunteers that made the construction of the Red House Interpretive Center possible and also lists all of the names of the Red Hats. The plaque hangs on a wall in the Girardot Room.
