The Field House Museum 634 South Broadway, St. Louis, MO 63102

"New to the area, so called ahead from Chesterfield, west of the city to inquire if they were open- was told yes, then asked about parking and was told even though there was a game, they had spaces for museum guests. After fighting game traffic to get there, trying to find the right parking lot, getting in and only after paying I was informed the house was closed- the reason I came and which I called ahead about!! They had a few exhibits I was not interested in and was able to be refunded. I was told about another mansion tour nearby, but because of a parade on the same day could not find a way to it. Several hours wasted!!"

"The birthplace of Eugene Fields (1850) known as "The Children's Poet". 3 story building contains several pieces of furnishings of that time. Eugene's Father Roswell was a lawyer that represented Dred and Harriett Scott in their quest for freedom by utilizing a unique legal challenge. It is located just South of Busch Stadium on South Broadway. Daily tours are available Wednesday through Sunday."

"Went to see the Annie Malone exhibit at the Eugene Field House. Both of them are St. Louis treasures. Kudos to Linda Nance for preserving this history of a remarkable woman. Glad we saw it."

"Among the numerous historic homes in town, this is unremarkable by comparison. The third floor was was under repair so fully 1/3 of the home is unavailable. The home is attached to a toy museum, as Mr. Field was a noted collector -- and even this collection is modest and not outstanding. The fee was excessive for the tour. In brief, other historic St. Louis homes are much better maintained or have better collections."

"Nice little museum. Dressed for the Christmas season now. Very nice."
