Statuary of a Historic Court House

Posted By Cliff Tuttle | April 4, 2018

No. 1,459

On this 50th Anniversary of the Assassination of Martin Luther King, we visit the Old St. Louis County Court House (no longer in use as a court house) where the Dred Scott case was tried. Both the original trial and the appeal to the Missouri Supreme Court occurred in this building. The statue in the pool in front is of a runner.  A statue of Dred Scott and his wife was erected on the grounds in 2012. The St. Louis Arch is seen in the background.
