Local Presentations
Looking for an educational and inspirational presentation for your school or your civic group meetings? JNPA offers presentations in the St. Louis metro area.
School programs
Levee Mercantile staff have been trained by the National Park Service to provide interpretive and educational presentations on commerce of the St. Louis riverfront in the 1870's. Staff will present at your school in period dress costume and can bring period props. Merchandise, housewares, edible products, toys, books and much more can be incorporated into the presentation. Staff review what was available commercially in the 1870's on the St. Louis riverfront, who was buying and why. This is a fun and interactive presentation for grades K-6. Presentations are provided for a $100 honorarium.

Civic group presentations
Kimberlee Riley, Director of Programs/COO for JNPA provides presentations and training locally as well as nationally. She works with local individuals of interest such as the official photographer or the National Park Service engineer on the construction project of the Gateway Arch to develop relevant presentations for local civic groups. She has provided presentations to organizations such as PEO, National Association of Women in Construction and DRS Engineers Club. Presentations can be developed to meet the needs and interests of your group. Topics range from real getaways in your hometown to stewardship and use of our public lands for our inspiration as well as our children's. Presentations are provided for a donation to JNPA which supports the educational programs and exhibits of the Gateway Arch and Old Courthouse.
