The Gateway Arch is part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial ( http://www.nps.gov/jeff/ ). The arch symbolizes "the spirit of the western pioneers." In the 19th century, St. Louis was a hub for westward-bound settlers; it is also where the Lewis & Clark Expedition began its voyage after Jefferson's completion of the Louisiana Purchase.

Today, the site includes Gateway Arch, the Museum of Westward Expansion, and St. Louis' Old Courthouse.

The arch serves no practical function except as a decorative landmark and a tribute to a unique period in world history. Visitors can ride a tram through the arch to the top.
