The Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis, Missouri, commemorates the era of American westward expansion. Its focal point is the 192-meter-high stainless steel arch, symbolizing new beginnings and discovery. The complex also includes a museum and the historic Old Courthouse, where the Dred Scott trial began. Located directly on the Mississippi River, the park was designated a national park in 2018—a decision that is not without controversy due to its urban character, but attracts many visitors.

The Gateway Arch is the tallest structure in the city and the tallest national monument in the United States, standing at 192 meters tall and spanning 192 meters. It features a time capsule with the signatures of 762,000 St. Louis students. At the top, there are two special elevators that transport five people per capsule every ten minutes to reach the summit.
