Welcome to 1904 Flight Cage, a historic gem nestled within the Edward K. Love Conservation Foundation Cypress Swamp at 1 Government Drive, St. Louis, Missouri. Step into a world of mystery and wonder as you explore this enchanting habitat, where a floating bridge and viewing pier guide you through lush hardwoods, vibrant shrubs, and serene aquatic plants. This captivating environment is a year-round sanctuary for cold-hardy birds, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of cypress swamps. Originally commissioned by the Smithsonian Institution for the 1904 World's Fair, the Flight Cage was intended for relocation to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. However, the passionate citizens of St. Louis rallied to preserve this architectural marvel, leading to its purchase by the city. This decision laid the foundation for the creation of the St. Louis Zoo, the world’s first municipally supported zoo.
