"When by the sagacity, liberality, shrewdness and unparalleled managerial ability of Henry Shaw, the philanthropist, the wild woods which skirted the borders of the great interior city of North America, were metamorphosed into the finest driving park in America..." The park now draws more than 12 million visitors a year and is home to such attractions as the St. Louis Zoo, the Muny, the Missouri History Museum and the St. Louis Art Museum.
