It really focuses more on St. Louis and the people of St. Louis. It is also more positive than other museums as it really focuses on survival stories. I believe I paid $12 which is a super price for this museum and it was also great because no one else was there. All of the staff was very informative and friendly. This museum can be quick because, like I said, it's on the smaller side but I took about 1-2 hours I think because I did read most, if not all, plaques. I would definitely recommend checking it out!

The park sits between 13th Street, Chestnut Street, Pine Street, and Tucker Boulevard, nestled among a series of six parks that include Poelker Park, Washington Square Park, Memorial Plaza, and Aloe Plaza. This corridor of green spaces helps frame the civic heart of downtown, with nearby landmarks like the Soldier's Memorial Military Museum adding historical weight to the area. Aloys P. Kaufmann, born in St. Louis in 1903. He rose through the ranks of city politics, becoming President of the Board of Aldermen in 1943 and then mayor after the death of William D. Becker. Kaufmann was elected to a full term in 1945 and chose not to run again in 1949. His legacy includes helping pass a $43 million bond issue that expanded Lambert Field and supporting the city's first earnings tax ordinance. The park itself is rather understated. Only about an acre and featuring mature trees and concrete benches. And some litter. [Review 1176 of 2025 - 442 in Missouri - 24729 overall]

The museum is more about historical context than about the devastating impact of these toxic materials on people (though that isn't ignored).

There were 4 informational plaques at the top and at least one pair of permanent binoculars so you could see for some distance.
