St. Louis Shuttle

The VHPA is offering attendees a shuttle as convenient and scenic transportation through the heart of the city, with stops at some of the most iconic attractions. Stops include:

• Soldiers Memorial Military Museum, where you can explore the rich history of America’s armed forces
• Blues Museum, celebrating St. Louis' deep musical heritage and its connection to blues music
• Gateway Arch, an iconic symbol of American expansion and an unforgettable sight
• Ballpark Village, where you can soak in the excitement of a sports district filled with restaurants, shops, and entertainment

The shuttle offers VHPA guests an easy and fun way to explore St. Louis’ cultural and historical landmarks on their own.

Video Presentations

Please note: To reduce the VHPA's cost to host the reunion, video presentations will only be offered once on Thursday, 21 August.

Here are the planned video presentations for R2025.
