As a globally recognized icon, the Gateway
Arch has become synonymous with St. Louis. But the Jefferson
National Expansion Memorial is more than just the Gateway Arch.
There several other components that feature the westward expansion
of the United States in the early 1800s. However, the arch is
a symbol for not only westward expansion but is probably the most
recognized monument in the world.
The
National Memorial is under the
control of the National Park Service and is well worth a stop on
your first visit to St. Louis, as well as any return trip.
Riding up to the top, hanging out on the lawn and catching glimpses
of the arch from all over St. Louis, are a part of any meaningful
trip to the city. |
