Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, Missouri

The Gateway Arch reflects St. Louis' role in the Westward Expansion of the United States during the nineteenth century. The park is a memorial to Thomas Jefferson's role in opening the West, to the pioneers who helped shape its history, and to Dred Scott who sued for his freedom in the Old Courthouse.

Don't miss a tram ride to the top of the Arch for a stunning panoramic view of the St. Louis area.

See a screening of the film "Monument to the Dream" which details the construction of the Arch. Or take in a film at the Odyssey Theatre, which shows movies on its wide-screen, four-story tall screen.

The Museum of Westward Expansion highlights the people, places and events of the American west during the 1800s through an extensive collection of artifacts, mounted animal specimens, authentic Plains Indian tipi, and overview of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Make a stop at one of the museum shops for a wide selection of books, videos, posters, and educational materials.

The Historic Old Courthouse houses restored courtrooms, a History Channel film about the Dred Scott case, history galleries outlining the people, places and events contributing to St. Louis' role as Gateway to the West during the 1800s.

50 years ago, the Becky Thatcher and the Tom Sawyer were brought to the St. Louis riverfront to accommodate visitors and spectators wanting a closer look at the construction of the Gateway Arch. Today, the Gateway Arch Riverboats are the only riverboats on the St. Louis Riverfront.
