The area where the Gateway Arch stands today has always been central to local history. Learn about the various incarnations of the park grounds and the fortunes and misfortunes of historical figures such as Eero Saarinen, James Eads, Thomas Targee, Percy Green, and Kenneth Swyers.

Meet at the Gateway Arch entrance plaza. This walk will be followed by free telescope viewing on the entrance plaza. 

The walk will be cancelled in the event of rain, while the telescope viewing needs at least partly clear skies in order to take place.  Call 314-655-1704 the afternoon of October 26 if you’re not sure of the status.
