This century and a half old private nonsectarian cemetery is located outside the city limits. The beautifully landscaped grounds, which grew out of the 19th century "garden-as-cemetery" movement, feature 14 miles of winding paths and man-made lakes. Many of the tombs and mausoleums are of artistic and architectural importance. The gravesites of beer brewer Adolphus Busch, explorer William Clark, Senator Thomas Hart Benton, and poet Sara Teasdale can be found here. To obtain information and maps, visit the office first.

Home of the St. Louis Cardinals professional baseball team, this downtown stadium opened in the 1960's and features a Gateway Arch motif that is replicated more than 90 times on the exterior. When the Cardinals aren't playing, the stadium is also used as a venue for concerts; in fact, the Beatles played one of their last live concerts here. The stadium tour starts at the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame/St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum across the street, where you may also purchase tickets.

This park-like Catholic cemetery was established in the mid-19th century during a cholera epidemic that claimed the lives of 10 percent of St. Louis' residents. Many of the tombs and memorials feature important architectural details. The gravesites of playwright Tennessee Williams, General William Tecumseh Sherman, author Kate Chopin, Thomas Dooley, and Dred Scott are located here.

The Gateway Arch is St. Louis's most notable landmark. It is the focal point of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Park and was built in the 1960's to commemorate the point at which many 19th century pioneers stopped for supplies before continuing West. A large plaza with terrazzo floors, a fountain, and a gift shop are located in the entrance area, along with the Museum of Westward Expansion and the Arch Odyssey Theatre, which shows films about the construction of the arch. Ride the tram to an observation room and witness spectacular views of the city.

This downtown plaza is a preferred lunch spot for the working crowd, a popular locale for sports fans cheering on their favorite team, and an occasional venue for concerts. One end of the plaza features an amphitheater; the other, a beautiful fountain. Concrete columns with pergolas surround a basin where you can sit, relax, have lunch or visit with friends.
