St. Louis Region, Missouri
Since the arrival of early settlers in 1764, the St. Louis Region has connected with the explorer in all of us. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark headed west from the village that is now St. Louis in 1803 to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. This began an adyssey that marked this area as the "Gateway to the West" for pioneers and trappers seeking fortune and adventure.
From the majestic Meramac Caverns and cobblestone streets of St. Charles, to the towering Gateway Arch and tucked-away neighborhoods of St. Louis, this region brings charm and the unexpected to every aspect of your Missouri vacation.
