Long read, but first visit. Imagine! The United States arsenal extended from above 2nd and Arsenal to below the cemetery on Broadway. Ships were dispatched from here to siege Nashville, Vicksburg, New Orleans...(No dams then). Virtually everyone from TN to TX in the Union army mustered in through here (my gg grandfather and bro included). Easily defended...at all costs. Imagine... More

This park is very good. It has a lot of walking and running tracks. there are deer everywhere, which is nice. It is tucked away so there are not a lot of people there, which is nice.

The setting is very pretty. The views of the river are very dramatic and the rolling hills are lovely, a fitting setting for our nation's bravest. When we went, we saw some people dressed in reenactment uniforms walking throughout the gravestones.

My family lives in the park area so I'm there quite often. The park itself is beautiful and very clean. Great place to picnic and walk. The cemetary is a wonderful place to walk too! Lot of history in this park including the cemetary

remembering my grandpa and the only thing that made me smile that day is hearing my neice ask me to look at all the reindeer. and there were a lot of them. this place is always peaceful.

The running trail in Jefferson Barracks Historic Park is a hilly trail, perfect for short run days. You will probably see deer during your run!

This is a beautiful park and if ever in the sSaint Louis area I highly recommend a visit. The historic nature alone makes this park a must stop.

After we visited Ulysses S Grant National Historic Site & learning about Jefferson Barracks, we went to see this historic park. This was established in 1826 and is huge! It was the largest military base in the U.S. at one time. It was established as a base camp for the troops fighting the Indian Wars. Many famous soliders served here.... More

Beautifully maintained but lately has become overrun by deer, which although beautiful to see, be sure you are careful as you drive through the cemetary.
