The Gateway Arch is a memorial that was built in St. Louis Missouri. There were more than 250,000 involved in the construction and design of the Gateway Arch. There were 13 workers that died during its construction.
The Gateway Arch was designed in the early 1940s as part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri, to commemorate Thomas Jefferson and the westward expansion of the United States. Construction started in 1963, and the Arch was completed in 1965. It is now an iconic symbol of St. Louis and a popular tourist attraction.
