The Old Courthouse
Description
It's part of the Gateway Arch National Park. 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. You may tour this historic structure, and visit the restored courtrooms to learn more about our 19th century judicial system.
The Old Courthouse itself is currently under renovation and temporarily closed to visitors.
