Iconic Conversations: Amanda Doyle, 100 Things to Do in St. Louis Before You Die

Join us each month for a thought-provoking speaker series that brings St. Louis history to life. Gateway Arch National Park and Jefferson National Parks Association are proud to host compelling talks by local authors and other knowledgeable guests who will explore a variety of topics relevant to the St. Louis region. You might learn about our city’s early beginnings, its architecture, our prominent leaders, the rise of the Gateway Arch, our civil rights struggles, and the best things to do around town. Book discussions will be followed by an author signing opportunity. 

All programs are free and no reservations are needed. They will be held at 2:00 p.m. on the second Sunday of the month in the rotunda of the historic Old Courthouse (11 N. 4th Street, St. Louis, MO 63102). The building is fully accessible, and a sign language interpreter will be on hand for each presentation. 

Want to take a tour of the best attractions St. Louis has to offer? Let Amanda Doyle be your guide. Amanda will share her bucket list of things to do around town, helping you connect to the region in new ways. Whether you’re new to St. Louis or a long-time native, you’re bound to get a fresh take on many familiar spots as well as recommendations on some off-the-beaten locales you may not have heard of.

Amanda is the author of nine books for both kids and adults, from neighborhood guidebooks to a history of the civil rights struggle in St. Louis.
