About this place

What is GOLDENROD?

Goldenrod was a floating theater, known as a showboat, which operated on the Mississippi River and its tributaries throughout the 20th Century. She was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark on 24 December 1967 and a St. Louis, Missouri City Landmark in 1972. The boat was placed on the 'Threatened Historical Landmarks' list in 2001. On 21 October 2017, the boat burned to its hull and was sold for scrap. In a meeting held 15–16 August 2023, the National Park System Advisory Board (NPSAB) recommended to withdraw the National Historic Landmark designation of Goldenrod due to her loss of historical integrity. Her landmark designation was withdrawn in December 2023.
