Visit the Old Courthouse + Galleries

Last went: 2025
Will go again: 2033
Cost: Free

We have a free weekend, and the event host missed the Old Courthouse the last time we went - so we'll go again. If you missed seeing the new galleries in the Old Courthouse in 2025, here's your chance to go again.

We will have a private tour at 2:00 of the Old Courthouse, but will meet at 1:00 to give time to visit the galleries before the tour.

For parking (from Lara):
“Though Gateway Arch National Park does not operate any parking facilities within our boundaries, we have a Preferred Parking Program at nearby Stadium East Parking Garage. It is $10 for 5 hours. Pre-purchasing parking at iparkit.com/TheArch is highly recommended, especially on Cardinals game days or days when other large events are happening. If parking is not pre-purchased on event days, the special $10 rate will not be recognized and event day parking rates will apply.”
NOTE: I just purchased through this link and paid $8 for 5 hours at Stadium West.

There are 4 new museum galleries and 2 restored courtrooms.

"The Old Courthouse was the site of the first two trials of the pivotal Dred Scott case in 1847 and 1850. It was also where Virginia Minor's case for a woman's right to vote came to trial in the 1870s." ( https://www.nps.gov/jeff/planyourvisit/och.htm)
