The Essential St. Louis There’s an eclipse coming our way this month—August 21 around 1 pm to be more precise—and St. Louis is in the path of totality, a position it hasn’t been in since 1442. We’ll tell you where to watch. We’ll also guide you to a world of adult beverages, lots of free attractions, and Broadway shows under the stars.

90 MINUTES IN:
Cahokia Mounds If you have 90 minutes or so, we recommend heading over to Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site near Collinsville, Illiniois, to see the remains of the largest pre-Columbian city north of Mexico. The active archeological site includes dozens of earthen mounds, a terrific interpretive center, and 100-foot-high Monks Mound, from which you can see the Gateway Arch some seven miles away. The Mississippian culture that built the city presents something of a mystery for archeologists, who lament its lack of a written language, even as a trove of artifacts (on display in the interpretive center) reveal important clues to the structure of the sophisticated society. The real mystery: why this thriving culture suddenly disappeared. www.cahokiamounds.org. Get going! Explore the city at wheretraveler.com.

STILL DISTILLING!
Back in the days when the St. Louis Browns shared Sportsman’s Park with the Cardinals and the city enjoyed a thriving footwear manufacturing scene, it was commonly said that St. Louis was “First in booze, first in shoes and last in the American League.” Well, the shoes have run off to China and the Browns have decamped for Baltimore, but we still have booze aplenty, thanks to a growing legion of microbreweries, wineries and small-batch distilleries, not to mention the elephant in the room, Anheuser-Busch, which conducts some of the city’s most popular tours of its sprawling campus south of downtown. So, bend an elbow; we’ve got something for every taste.

Augusta Winery
MISSOURI WINE COUNTRY Missouri is loaded with wineries producing outstanding wines from mostly French hybrid grapes like seyval, vignoles and chambourcin and the native American varietal, norton. The names may be unfamiliar, but you’ll find wines that compare favorably to chardonnays, sauvignon blancs, pinot noirs and cabernet sauvignons. Nine Missouri wineries—including Chandler Hill Vineyards, Sugar Creek Winery, Montelle Winery, Mount Pleasant Estates, Augusta Winery, Louis P. Balducci Vineyards, Noboleis Vineyards & Winery, and Blumenhof Vineyards and Winery—are located just 45 minutes from downtown St. Louis along Highway 94 south of I-64,
from Defiance to Dutzow. Plenty of signs make the wineries easy to find. Map 1.

Solar Eclipse, August 21 Because St. Louis hasn’t experienced a total solar eclipse since 1442 and won’t see another until 2505, we’re pretty excited about the one happening August 21 at approximately 1-1:30 pm in Missouri, during which the moon will move between the sun and earth, casting a shadow along the way and completely obscuring the sun. While everyone in North America will see at least a partial ecclipse, the path of totality in Missouri follows a 70-mile-wide swath from St. Joseph to Cape Girardeau, and the duration of totality ranges from a few seconds at the edge to 2 minutes 40 seconds at the center, during which time temperatures may drop and stars and planets will be visible. St. Louis is on the northern edge of the totality; longer eclipse durations will occur nearby in Perryville, Washington, Augusta, DeSoto, Festus, Potosi, Kimmswick, Herculaneum, Union, Sullivan, Ste. Genevieve and Cape Girardeau, all of which are planning eclipse events which may or may not require advance reservations. In St. Louis, eclipse festivities are happening in Jefferson Barracks Park (free and open to the public); The Magic House (free with museum admission); Urban Chestnut Grove Brewery & Bierhall (beer, brats, live music); Chesterfield Amphitheatre (concert, food trucks, micro-brew village, swag bag); and Bluebird Park in Ellisville (music and food). Eclipse-watchers absolutely must use ISO-certified solar glasses to prevent permanent vision loss, available at most eclipse viewing locations. Get all the specifics and more at www.stlouiseclipse2017.org.
Reigning Men: Fashion in Menswear 1715-2015, on view at the Saint Louis Art Museum, offers a dazzling dash through 300 eyepopping years of men’s fashion, organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. 17

FirstTimer
Residences-turned-museums offer unique perspectives of regional history with a personal touch. The (1) Scott Joplin House State Historic Site preserves the residence where the "Ragtime King" is known to have composed some of his most famous melodies, and includes a player piano. The (2) Field House Museum, on the southern edge of downtown, tells two stories: that of Eugene Field, the "Children's Poet," and that of his father, Roswell, who initiated the lawsuit that resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court's Dred Scott Decision, which helped foment the Civil War. The (3) Sappington House Museum, the oldest standing brick residence in St. Louis County, was built by the son of George Washington's bodyguard, and includes the Library of Americana and Decorative Arts.
If it's your first visit to St. Louis, there are a few things you just have to see. First, of course, you have to take the ride to the top of the (1) Gateway Arch, at 630 feet the tallest national monument, still open despite a huge renovation project. A bit farther west (2) City Museum belies its rather generic name with a kaleidoscopic variety of environments and experiences, including (shown here) the opportunity to crawl through a mid-air hamster tunnel. And please don't leave without visiting the city's prettiest 79 acres, (3) Missouri Botanical Garden, an ever-changing set of vistas and conservatories, including the spectacular Japanese Garden (shown here), the Gladney Rose Garden, Chinese Garden, English Woodland Garden, Ottoman Garden, and Climatron geodesic-domed rainforest.

Antiquer If you're one of those who treasures the artifacts of the past, we've got a few destinations for you. (1) Robert Morrissey Antiques is the city's oldest antique dealer, in operation since 1948, showing furniture, art and accessories from the 18th to the 20th century. You never know what you'll find at (2) David Kent Richardson Decorations and Interior Design,
located in the Italian Hill neighborhood, a determinedly eclectic collection of "curious objects" chosen with an interior designer's eye for drama, beauty and the ability to start a conversation. DevotĂŠes of the mid-century aesthetic should head over to (3) Rocket Century in the South Grand neighborhood, a nicely edited collection of furniture, art and accessories from the 100 years starting with the 1920s.
