Completed in 1874, the Eads Bridge was the first bridge across the Mississippi River in St. Louis.

"History Spotlight" is a collaboration between the Missouri Historical Society and the Higher Education Channel TV (HEC-TV) to highlight the people, places, and events that have helped shape St. Louis's rich past. | Missouri History Museum
