About this Event

OISS is sponsoring a See STL Walking Tour for international students to visit The Hill, the neighborhood in St. Louis most commonly associated with Italian immigrants and the famous toasted ravioli!

(Toasted) ravioli! (Clay) mining! (Disappearing) churches! In many ways, The Hill neighborhood exemplifies the immigrant experience of the early 20th century. Learn about the people who called the area home before the Northern Italians arrived, find hidden pieces of history, and experience the entrepreneurial energy that is fueling the Hill’s success today. Like so many other St. Louis neighborhoods, the Hill’s history is a complicated mix of tradition and bigger social forces at play. (And we promise to get into that whole t-rav thing.)
