A one-minute visit to “Gateway Arch Tour” at Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri. To learn more, visit www.nps.gov/jeff. For books and DVDs, visit www.jnpa.com.

The Arch towers 630 feet above the Mississippi River and is a symbol of St. Louis’ role in the nations westward expansion. Under the Arch is the Museum of Westward Expansion where animated exhibits tell the story in the words of those whose lives shaped the American West, from the Louisiana Purchase to the closing of the frontier in 1890.

While the West was being settled, the issue of slavery was not. Here at the Old Courthouse, Dred Scott successfully sued for his freedom in 1850. Unfortunately, for millions of African-Americans, freedom wouldn’t come until after the American Civil War.

In 1948, Architect Eero Saarinen won a national contest held to determine the design of the memorial. Over 5,000 tons of steel were used to build the triangular shaped arch. The entire surface of the Arch is stainless steel plates.
