Angela Wells

Historian and museum professional in Jefferson City, Missouri, currently Curator of Exhibits at the Missouri State Museum and Jefferson Landing State Historic Site. I manage exhibition development end-to-end—planning budgets and timelines, guiding design and installation, conducting research, and writing interpretive text for public audiences. I also teach Introductory World History as a part-time instructor at Lincoln University of Missouri. Previously, I led education and outreach as a Historic Site Specialist and developed an award-winning place-based history escape room (Missouri State Parks’ Outstanding Interpretive Program of the Year, 2023). I hold an M.A. in History from Missouri State University and a B.A. in History from Columbia College with a minor in Education.
