Faust Park Historic Village
Faust Park Historic Village is a collection of nineteenth century St Louis County historic homes and buildings that, in the face of progress, were in danger of being demolished. They were rescued and then moved to the Historic Village by the St Louis County Parks Department and have been meticulously restored. The buildings date from 1840 to 1900 and feature the Yokel barn, the Mertz log cabin, the Alt Schoolhouse, the Conway House, the Davis House, the Sellenriek and Schlueter barns, the Spanish Lake Blacksmith Shop, the Fenton Mercantile, and other structures and gardens typical of the nineteenth century. The Miles A. Seed Carriage House houses the offices of Faust Park.
