After the war, he and his gang used the caves as a hideout. Today, the cave is a family attraction with a gift shop, restaurant and museum. Guided tours leave at 20-30 minute intervals. Admission: USD14 adults; USD7 kids (5-11). Review © 2007, Wcities |

St. Louis history on display |
11 North Fourth St St. Louis, MO 63102 United States +1 314 655 1600 |
The exhibits at the Old Courthouse, most of which are actual models or historic items rather than mere text or photographs, date back to 1764, at which time the St. Louis region was a French fur trading port. Other exhibits come from eras ranging from colonial times on up to the 20th century. The Old Courthouse served as an actual courthouse from the mid-19th century up until 1930.

Home of the ragtime composer |
2658 Delmar St. Louis, MO 63103 United States +1 314 340 5790 |
Visit the house where ragtime music legend Scott Joplin is known to have spent one of his most productive periods. A nine-year resident of St. Louis, Joplin spent two years in this house with wife Belle Haden. He published eight songs while living here in 1902, "The Entertainer" being the most famous today. A player piano with scrolls of his music serves as a charming part of the restoration effort implemented to make this house appear as it would have during his time here. The home is listed as a National Historic Landmark. Guided tours are available daily. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Edible landmark |
730 Carroll St St. Louis, MO 63104 United States +1 314 622 4180 |
The history of this market goes back to 1779, when a bunch of people got together to sell and buy produce and other products and to socialize. A couple of hundred years later, the market is still bringing together people from diverse backgrounds. The unique collection of goods found at the market includes live fowls, fruits and vegetables, freshly made donuts, choice cuts of meat, spices and other tempting treats. The prices are competitive with, if not better than, those at supermarkets, but it is the interaction between locals and visitors that creates the ambience of this market. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Baseball World Series champions |
250 Stadium Plaza (Busch Stadium) St. Louis, MO 63102 United States +1 314 421 3060/ +1 314 421 2400 (Tickets) http://www.stlcardinals.com |
Baseball is more than a sport to the locals, it is a near-sacred institution. And fans have plenty of reason to be proud of the Cards, who have won nine World Series titles and 15 National League championships. Before anyone had heard of Mark McGwire and his home run records, Stan Musial, Tim McCarver and Ozzie Smith became legends while wearing the red-and-white Cardinal uniform. Ticket prices for home games at Busch Stadium start as low as USD10, so why not head out to the stadium and catch an important part of the city's history in action? Review © 2007, Wcities |

Frozen custard, milkshakes and ice cream |
6726 Chippewa St. Louis, MO 63109 United States +1 314 481 2652 http://www.teddrewes.com/Drewe... |
This place has been a favorite in St. Louis and a landmark for ice cream lovers since 1929. Mr. Drewes' cool, creamy delights are served upside down in order to prove just how creamy and thick they really are. Do not be alarmed by the ever-present line, as it moves along pretty quickly. An ice cream-style stand, complete with neon lights and twinkling bulbs, makes this a lively family hangout. It is so relaxed that the menu is handwritten. Try an array of frozen flavors, from pineapple, strawberry and chocolate chip to other odd titles such as the Terramizzou, Fox Treat and the All Shook Up. Visitors will miss a treat by not trying a Concrete. Review © 2007, Wcities |

View the original skyscraper |
111 North Seventh St St. Louis, MO 63101 United States |
Now serving as quarters for government offices, this building is known worldwide to architecture students as the forerunner of skyscraper construction. Drive by to see this 11-story building, which was designed by famed architect Louis H. Sullivan using steel supports. Taking its name from Elias Wainwright, the affluent St. Louis businessman who commissioned the design, this structure ranked as the world's most modern building upon its completion in 1892. A floral terra cotta exterior enhances the building with designs that vary from floor to floor, giving it an old-fashioned charm. Review © 2007, Wcities |
