Music plays an important role in Missouri.
And not to mention, we're home to the heart of country music in Branson. Family fun and adventure await you too, with amusement parks, zoos and hands-on discovery centers entertaining children of all ages. Throughout the 19th Century, Missouri served the burgeoning nation as a thoroughfare of migration and commerce, and as the crossing over point into the great West. The Gateway Arch was created to commemorate this historic American location, and is the tallest man-made monument in the world, standing 630 feet tall. The area is especially noteworthy in the westward expansion of the U.S. because Saint Louis and neighboring St. Charles were the starting and ending points of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery Expedition.
