Gateway to the West
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.
11 May 1993Made a stop here on an trip to the East Coast. Explored the Visitors Center then took the Tram ride to the top of the Arch. We got to take in amazing views from up there.
Update - I have updated this page to reflect the name change to Gateway Arch National Park. We will wait to call this a National Park visit till we revisit.
