Take a walk through the past with JEFF's PastCast tour! Hear about St. Louis' past and what happened on the historic grounds of Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Established in 1764, and growing into a vital and booming outpost on the western edge of a new country, St. Louis was America's Gateway to the West during 19th Century. Many of the era's most exciting events took place in the vicinity of where the Gateway Arch stands today. http://www.nps.gov/jeff/photosmultimedia/pastcast.htm National Park Service en-us Mon, 30 Jul 2007 15:00:00 CST Jefferson National Expansion Memorial jeff_superintendent@nps.gov Mon, 30 July 2007 Audio programs from and about Jefferson National Expansion Memorial PastCast is the audio podcast from Jefferson National Expansion Memorial.
