Museum of Westward Expansion

Relive the Old West with a visit to the Museum of Westward Expansion. View rare Indian Peace Medals and weapons of survival to an actual tipi.  The Museum of Westward Expansion preserves the past so that you can experience it today.

Discover the land that Lewis and Clark explored. See how the mountain men lived in the 1800s and take a peek inside a covered wagon. Listen as history unfolds through the voices of life-like "animatronic" figures.

Audio enhancement is available during tours given by National Park Rangers. Tours include a variety of educational topics and a question-and-answer period. To set up a ranger led tour please contact the National Park Service at 314-655-1700.
