Event Details

Did you know that St Louis has more museums per capita than any other metropolitan area in the United States? With spring in the air, maybe it is time to get out and visit some of these unique museums. Doug Schneider's presentation on historic house museums in the St Louis area is the place to start!

Join us as we learn about how the St Louis area is home to many historic house museums that are maintained for the public to view and visit.

These historic house museums range from 2-room log cabins to 42-room "castles."

Doug Schneider's talk will show you the wonderful variety of historic houses we have, and where they are located.

The presenter is Doug Schneider, author, St Louis walking tour guide, Scottish country dancer, fan of architecture, Route 66 enthusiast, who graduated from Brown University, one of the eight Ivy League universities, with a Bachelor's in History; and from the University of London with a Master's in Linguistics.

All registrants will receive a link to a list of the house museums mentioned in Doug's talk.
