America’s best urban park turns 150 years young this year. Over the course of the last century and a half, Forest Park has hosted pivotal moments in St. Louis history: the 1904 World’s Fair, Charles Lindbergh’s 1927 speech to more than 100,000 people following his historic flight across the Atlantic, and even a surprise Janis Joplin concert in 1968. But just as important, Forest Park is the setting for countless everyday stories shared by St. Louisans: sledding down Art Hill, exploring the Balloon Glow, and visiting the zoo and museums.
Yours Forever: Forest Park at 150 explores how St. Louisans have used and adapted the park throughout its history and the moments and memories—big and small—that make it special.
