Missouri is steeped in American history. The state played a pivotal role in westward expansion, with landmarks like the Gateway Arch in St. Louis symbolizing the nation’s westward journey. Additionally, Missouri has Civil War battlefields and historic sites like the Harry S. Truman National Historic Site in Independence.
