Join us for a walking tour of The Hill followed by lunch at a restaurant.
(Toasted) ravioli! (Clay) mining! (Disappearing) churches! In many ways, St. Louis’s famous Hill neighborhood exemplifies the immigrant experience of the early 20th century. Learn about the people who called the area home before the Northern Italians arrived, find hidden pieces of history, and experience the entrepreneurial energy that is fueling the Hill’s success today. Like so many other St. Louis neighborhoods, the Hill’s history is a complicated mix of tradition and bigger social forces at play. (And we promise to get into that whole t-rav thing.)
