The adventure begins with a drive to the William Clark Plot. Walking to the ideal way to observe the cemetery. It is easy to view monuments and take in the scenic view. After checking out William Clark’s family plot, we will visit the graves of three Civil War participants and an African American doctor who changed health care in St. Louis. Down the road, there are two suffragists. Across the street is the Hempstead family plot which is the oldest in the cemetery. Hidden under some trees, we’ll discover a statue of a seven year old bot looking dapper in his knickers and well as an iron cross revealing the last name of Chouteau. By telling their stories and visiting their graves, I hope to keep their memories alive.

Join one of Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum’s horticulturalists for a walking tour exploring the newly opened Lewis and Clark Garden off the northeast corner of the property. This newly dedicated garden contains many plant species notated within the Corps of Discovery Expedition (1803-1806) and its contributions and study of natural history. From meadow to forest, this tour will also explore native plants and plant communities and discuss the natural history of BCA and the surrounding region. Be prepared to walk on uneven terrain with moderate slopes.

Steamboaters and Bellefontaine Cemetery
Whether we are talking pilots, captains, or owners, the waterways and the ships that traversed them helped define St. Louis and the region. At first, it was every man—or boat—for himself, but soon set timetables and routes were established. This led to competition among private owners and groups, leaving casualties in the wake of organization. Then there is the river: at once a superhighway and a vexed spirt. Accidents and mishaps on the Mississippi mean a short life for most ships and many who guide them.

Watch from the comfort of your home or wherever you may be! Sign up now for this free video presentation on Wednesday, October 4th at 7:00 p.m.
