Creating the Gateway Arch took many, many years before its completion in 1965. Today, the National Park Service manages the Gateway Arch and educates people about the architectural and symbolic significance of this structure. In this program, students are taken back in time to learn about the meaning, conceiving the idea, designing, and building the tallest national monument in the United States. Students work with a park ranger in several galleries including the "Building the Dream" exhibit to learn more about this fascinating history.
This program can be catered to meet the needs of all K-12 groups interested in visiting. Reservations must be made at least 30 days in advance.
