Corps of Discovery II – St. Louis, MO, is located near the north entrance to the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park in St. Louis, MO, about five miles west of the intersection of Interstate Highway 64 and Interstate Highway 70 in downtown St. Louis. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources set the disk in 2004, and it was dedicated on March, 13, 2004, as part of the “Three Flags Ceremony” national signature event. It is in the NGS database at PID = DG7734: (visit link) . The 12-inch commemorative brass disk projects about two inches above the surrounding surface. It is northeast of the north entrance to the Museum, about 40.5 feet northwest of a flagpole, about 44 feet east of the extended centerline of the main entrance, about 12 feet south-southwest of a four-foot lamppost that is the fifth such post from the most easterly in a line of posts. The disk does not have any identifying stamping other than the standard design elements of the commemorative series of disks: CORPS OF DISCOVERY II – 200 YEARS TO THE FUTURE – PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP.
