Stores

Jefferson National Parks Association (JNPA), a not-for-profit organization, has operated stores at the Gateway Arch and Old Courthouse for more than fifty years. Revenues generated at these retail outlets support a wide variety of educational classes, exhibits, living history programs, and archival and conservation work at Gateway Arch National Park.

The Arch Store offers Arch-themed souvenirs, books and gifts; Western-themed products like high-end reproduction Remington bronze statues, a bust of Thomas Jefferson, and numerous Native American crafts. The store also honors the 1960s origins of the Arch itself, featuring items such as the iconic Eero Saarinen-designed Tulip chair and table, Eames stacking cards and mid-century modern architectural books. For more information call 314-678-1530 or 800-537-7962.

The Old Courthouse Shop is closed for the duration of the building's renovation. The shop offers products related to one of the most important court cases in America's civil rights history, the Dred Scott case, which took place at this site. The shop also features items relating to St. Louis history. For more information call 314-655-1627 or 800-537-7962.
