Gateway Arch

With the acquisition of the Louisiana Territory in 1803, the United States almost doubled in size to include the lands between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains.  President Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the new territory and find a Northwest Passage.  

Today, the Gateway Arch of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial is a monument to the westward expansion of the United States.

The Gateway Arch recognizes the beginning of the Lewis and Clark Expedition near St. Louis, Missouri and the western migrations that began shortly afterwards.  The stainless steel-clad catenary arch is located on the western bank of the Mississippi River, opening west towards downtown St. Louis and the direction of 19th-century migration.  

Composed in a designed landscape, the Arch and its grounds were designed by two masters of Modern design: architect Eero Saarinen and landscape architect Dan Kiley.  The Modern Style is reflected in their simple yet bold geometric patterns, and in the use of modern materials, such as steel, concrete, and a restrained plant palette.  

Begun in 1959 and completed in 1976, the monument is currently receiving a rehabilitation treatment for rejuvenation.
