Discovery Waypoint | N 38° 38' 28.3" W 90° 16’ 54.5" Nathan Frank Bandstand Dusk Reflection—St. Louis lawyer Nathan Frank donated $50,000 to erect a bandstand, making the first private gift to a St. Louis park. It was dedicated in 1925. Of classic Renaissance design, the bandstand was made of white marble with bronze railings and ornaments. Forest Park is a public park in western St. Louis, Missouri. It is a prominent civic center and covers 1,326 acres. Opened in 1876, the park has hosted several significant events, including the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904 and the 1904 Summer Olympics. It is known as the "Heart of St. Louis'' and features a variety of attractions, including the St. Louis Zoo, the St. Louis Art Museum, the Missouri History Museum, and the St. Louis Science Center. Since the early 2000s, it has carried out a $100 million restoration. The park's acreage includes meadows and trees and a variety of ponds, man made lakes, and freshwater streams. For several years, the park has been restoring prairie and wetlands areas of the park. It has reduced flooding and attracted a much greater variety of birds and wildlife, which have settled in the new natural habitats. . . https://www.fmgphoto.com/Lifestyle/Architecture/i-2W67cmG . . . #NathanFrankBandstand #forestparkbandstand #forestpark #forestparkforever #explorestlouis #stlouisgram #midwestlivingmagazine #midwestlivingmag #midweststyle #stlouisgram #stlouis #stlouismissouri #stlouismo #discoveramerica #travelpics #travellife #travelinspiration #travelblog #travelphotography #fmgphoto #followingmygps #travelphotography #traveller #photography #travelamerica #lifestyle #LifeWellLived #travelmagazine #roadtripping #exploring #roadtrip (at Forest Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIlUVWOsi9x/?igshid=1n9jns6fvxfyu
