Every stop on this trail is a business someone built after losing everything. A restaurant, a market, a kitchen. They arrived in Saint Louis and they stayed. Walk the ten blocks, read the ten stories, earn the badge.
This is not a tourist trail. It is one open-city activation across refugee and immigrant-owned businesses across Saint Louis. Check in at stops, collect puzzle pieces, read each story, and finish the Bonus Round to multiply your raffle entries. On June 18, a live event check-in at City Foundry adds another boost on top.
Ten stops across South Grand, Gravois, The Grove, and Midtown. Each one a real business with a real story. Check in by GPS or QR code.
Each stop unlocks one puzzle piece — a named fragment of the city's larger story. All ten together form "One City, Ten Stories."
After all ten stamps, five trivia questions about the stops you just walked. Answer all five correctly for a 3× raffle entry multiplier.
The World Refugee Day 2026 medallion badge. Limited to this trail, this window. After June 22, it closes.
IISTL has served refugees and immigrants in Saint Louis since 1919. Every stop on this trail is part of that century-long story. If it moved you, consider supporting what makes it possible.
