One of many significant exhibits in the Museum of Westward Expansion deals with exploration in the American West. The exhibit, located to the left near the museum entrance, interprets exploration by displaying the equipment, tools and instruments used by explorers during the period of western exploration, 1804-1879. In 1803 the federal government acquired the Louisiana Purchase, a vast region west of the Mississippi River totaling 550 million acres. In an effort to learn more about the unseen tract of real estate, President Thomas Jefferson sent a "Corps of Discovery" to explore the land. The expedition, led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, became the first of numerous formal exploring parties the United States government sent west between 1804 and 1879. Lewis and Clark's journals spoke glowingly of the West's riches. Mountain men went in search of beaver described by Lewis. Not all explorers, however, considered the The Museum of Westward Expansion Expedition, and through remarkable exhibits West a land of milk and honey.

THE OLD COURTHOUSE—YESTERDAY AND TODAY NEW ROLES By the early 1920's, the Old Courthouse had deteriorated into an expensive extravagance, with poor plumbing, faulty wiring, inadequate heating and falling plaster. As with previous courthouses on the site, city growth had expanded beyond the capacity of the building to serve its judicial respon sibilities. On June 21, 1930, city courts officially moved into a new civil courts building, leaving the Old Courthouse empty. In 1940, after a decade of neglect, decay and public debate, St. Louis deeded the Old Courthouse to the federal government to become the administrative headquarters for the recently established Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. After extensive repairs to the basic structure and its energy systems, the building evolved beyond an administrative
