Part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, built
in 1963-65, the arch is a modern wonder. And we found that underneath the arch
are attractions including the museum of westward expansion, a video about Lewis
& Clark's expedition, and a video about the building of the arch. A lot to see
even before going up in the arch! If you ever get the chance to visit it, I
encourage you to do so!
