Team Building in Missouri
Missouri is home one of the most awe-inspiring monuments in the USA, the Gateway Arch, standing 630 feet tall. This proud monument is a symbol constructed to memorialize the nation's territorial expansion to the west. Missouri earned the nickname "Gateway to the West" because it served as a departure point for settlers heading to the west and was the starting point and the return destination of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Originally part of the Louisiana Purchase, Missouri was admitted as a state in 1821 as part of the Missouri Compromise.  The word "Missouri" means "town of the large canoes," and authorities have said the Indian syllables from which the word comes mean "wooden canoe people" or "he of the big canoe."

The most widely known legend behind Missouri’s nickname, the “Show Me” State, attributes the phrase to Missouri's U.S. Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver. It is said that when questioning the accuracy of a previous speaker’s remarks, he declared, "I come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me."

Regardless of whether Vandiver coined the phrase or not, it is certain that his speech helped to popularize the saying. However the slogan originated, it has since passed into a different meaning entirely, and is now used to represent the stalwart, conservative, non-credulous character of Missourians.
