Museum of Westward ExpansionUnderneath the arch, under the grass, is a large museum called the Museum of Westward Expansion. It chronicled the reason for the arch's existence -- the commemoration of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the settling of the West, in which St. Louis played a key role. There was also a small model of the arch, which a friendly employee offered to snap our picture near.

Museum of TransportationThe morning we left St. Louis, we stopped at the Museum of Transportation. Since we like trains, and most of the museum was about trains, this was a lot of fun to look at. In the picture to the left, an old engine is being restored.
