Precious Moments Chapel and Visitor Center
Samuel J. Butcher, artist and creator of Precious Moments, dreamed of building a chapel as his gift of gratitude for God’s blessings in his life. After laboring for five years, through faith, that dream became reality with the opening of Precious Moments Chapel in 1989. Located in the scenic Ozarks of Southwest Missouri, the hearts of millions of visitors have been touched by the serenity, inspiration and beauty of Precious Moments Chapel and gardens.
St Louis Missouri Temple
The St. Louis Missouri Temple was the first temple built in Missouri, though temple sites were dedicated in the 1830s in Independence, Far West, and Adam-ondi-Ahman.
The site for the St. Louis Missouri Temple was approved by each
member of the First Presidency. Each was individually escorted to six
possible sites, and each in turn selected the same site to build the
temple.
The Mississippi River
The Gateway Arch
The nation’s tallest monument at 630 feet, the Gateway Arch has beckoned visitors for more than 40 years with its iconic, awe-inspiring shape. The vision of renowned architect Eero Saarinen, the Gateway Arch commemorates Thomas Jefferson and St. Louis’ role in the westward expansion of the United States.
