Located mere steps from where Lewis and Clark completed their historic journey, the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial is a 90 acre park along the banks of the Mississippi River. Designated as a national historical site in 1935, the park is dominated by the iconic Gateway Arch. The Arch is the nations tallest monument. The old court house, this historic treasure is where Dred and Harriet Scott sued for their freedom. This is also where Virginia Minor fought for women's right to vote.
