Hey guys,

Just got in from a family trip to see the St Louis Arch. It is a lot of fun and my 2 little one's enjoyed it. Under the Arch there is a small but nice museum. Here are some pictures for you all to see.

Thanks for sharing, Joe!

You got to start the interest in history when they young. Ive recently been away with my children visiting Uppsala Högar and Carl von Linne´s Hammarby. Not my pictures.

Hello Joe,

I just caught your post. Very nice pics indeed with you and your family!

Interesting exhibit as well. That Hawken must be something to behold in the flesh.

Amusing detail: The buffalo soldier must be left-handed as he's wearing his carbine sling the other way round. Check out the painting in the background to see how it was worn per regulation. The mannekin is nevertheless VERY inspiring.

Thank you for sharing.

Cheers,

Quang
