Eugene Field House and St. Louis Toy Museum This is a historic home that children will love. The toy collection on the third floor will keep children's interest. 

Payne Gentry Home Payne Gentry home located in Bridgeton, Missouri
Children will find it interesting and engaging. The information in the doctor's office may be a bit more detailed than parents may want to hear. 

Daniel Boone Home & Boonesfield Village A historic home kids will love to visit. Children will find this one interesting and engaging. 

Faust Park Historic homes set up in a village-like setting. Some of the homes are open on certain days and during special events. Children tend to find seeing the different old homes near each other quite captivating. Almost "Walnut Grove -esque" (for you "Little House on the Prairie" fans). 

Scott Joplin Home A wonderful place to visit. 

St. Louis Historic Homes Tour A resource to tour several historic homes.

9 Historic Home Tours Lemp Mansion Wow! What can I say? This is a historic home, a restaurant, a part of St. Louis' history, and an inn; it just a bit of everything. It is a great visit. Regarding spending the night, well, let's just say that its history may "come to life" when you stay. :P 

Bissell Mansion Restaurant & Murder Mystery Dinner Theater - haven't been here, but I have heard great things! 

Water Tower and Park Looks like a great view from the top of the tower! 

Cathedral Basilica At the main page, click on "friends" to get to the "tour" link.
The mosaics displayed here are known world-wide. Though the building was built around 1907, the mosaics were not finished until 1988! A must see for many who come to St. Louis. 

Fort Belle Fontaine Location of Lewis and Clark Campsite, trading post from early 1800s, military post, factory location - A ton of history at this location! And, you better be in good shape to walk down, the back UP the steps! Beautiful! Must see!
