Top 20 things to do and attractions in Sainte Genevieve

Really cool place to learn about the history of Ste. Genevieve. Super knowledgeable staff and the historic house tour was really interesting. It's a must see when you visit Ste. Gen. 3/5 stars, wouldn't change a thing

Very well preserved, vertical wood structure, French colonial home. The original portion of the home getting close to 250 years old. Hard to find buildings that old in Missouri. Go over to the Centre for French Colonial Life to see some of the artifacts from the period. Tour of this house and the somewhat newer one next door are $10 a person. My wife and I essentially got a private tour and our tour guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and had a knack for keeping the tour interesting. Took about 30 minutes.

Well worth the trip and so informative. Also learn about the Battle of Ft San Carlos and the French connection to the region.

Did not realize the extent of the French presence in history. I enjoyed perusing the displays and reading information.

Great little museum! The staff were all so friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the area. I would definitely recommend taking the tour of the 2 homes. Museum is free and tour is $10/person.

I enjoy learning about the past. They had some unique displays. Very helpful.

This was a great spot. Small informative great staff and really nice.

We stopped at historic Ste. Gen on our way home from St. Mary's. Unfortunately, we were too early to see inside the Felix Valley house. But if the outside property is any indication, then the inside should be delightful. And well-kept. This is a great little town, with many historic sites. It has many small businesses, as some tourist towns do. It was a great stroll around town. We will be back in the Fall. It's a great day trip,!

This is my third visit to Ste Genevieve to see the sights and soak up the history, but only my first visit to the Felix Valle House. They weren't actually conducting any tours on the day I was there, but the Park employee, Rachel, very kindly gave me an impromptu tour and allowed me into all the rooms while providing a narrative of the Valles and the house contents. Good job Rachel! This is a spot worth visiting.

Great tour guide. He was so knowledgeable! The history of the house is fascinating. I can't believe they were going to tear it down to build a gas sdtation

Cool set of historic homes in the middle of historic downtown Ste Genevieve. The Shaw House across the street is included in the experience and has a gift shop. Guided tours throughout the day that will dig deep in to the history. Tour cost $5, but you can buy a "passport" at the local tourism office for $15 that will get you in to 6 sites total. They are all open at varying times, so plan ahead accordingly.

A very pretty place! The town of Ste. Genevieve will take you back in town. Have to pay for tours.

This was an amazing place, guided walking tour, museum and gift shop. Even my kids enjoyed going there. The town itself is beautiful and there is lots to see and do. Perfect for younger and older homeschooling families!

The Felix Valle House is an old historic home in St. Genevieve, Missouri. We took about a 1 hour tour. Our tour guide was a very young interesting and informative high school teacher who was very happy and enjoyed her job. A ticket may be bought at the St. Genevieve Chamber of Commerce that included tours to the Guibourd, Bequette Ribualt, Green Tree, and Amoureux houses, plus a town museum for a very economical price. If you can't stay for too long of a period of time you may return for as many days that you need to see the rest of the homes and have your card punched.

A fun place with lots of interesting things to look at. Fun for little kids to see the neat things and for old kids and adults actually interested in reading the information about the items. I wouldn't plan this place alone for a full day because we got through it pretty quick even being on a school field trip. Gift shop was a little pricey but that was to be expected from my experiences with gift shops. Definitely recommend for any Dino lovers.

It's a small museum, by comparison, but they really have wonderful exhibits. I absolutely recommend a visit if you are near the area. Ste. Genevieve is lovely and the museum holds a wealth of information about the history of Missouri and interesting artifacts. If you know a dino lover they will be in awe of the first floor space dedicated to the recovery, study, and preservation of the hadrosaur remains found near Marble Hill, Missouri.

Unusual museum. If you are into the Jurrasic Park movies and dinosaurs you would like the first floor. They have a movie prop from the Jurrasic Park III movie. I liked the upper floors better with the Old West displays about Gold Mining and the tools and weapons used in the 1800's. Surprised the James Gang robbed the bank there. Cheap way to spend 3 hours.

Great place. My kids are obsessed with dinosaurs and they loved it. Mike was awesome and let them hold some real dino bones he was working on. Definitely recommend.

Very educational. We spoke with the paleontologist and he explained about the MO dino. Worth the trip.

Great museum and well worth visiting! Far better than we had anticipated. Varied exhibits. Lots of fossils and dinosaur displays, but also plenty of local history about this beautiful historic town. There is a friendly paleontologist on staff and available to answer questions. We will definitely visit again with family members who couldn't make it this time.

What a great museum! There is a live dinosaur dig happening and the scientist was there to talk with! There are a ton of unique artifacts which truly make this place stand out. We loved the meteors, the Hindenburg exhibit, the dinosaurs, the minerals and gold, the puzzle--all of it was great!

Great information to be found here! Super friendly staff. Small gifts and National Historical Park stamp available for passports.

What a gem of a welcome center! The staff is beyond friendly and helpful. There's a neat little gift shop and quite a few displays of local historic homes. I highly recommend stopping in here before you go anywhere else!

We enjoyed our tour! Don't want to spoil the history for anyone. We're history buffs. The Gent answered all questions, very knowledgeable which made our experience very enjoyable!

Nice little welcome center in the historic district of Ste Gen. The staff were very nice and informative. Kind of a small museum mixed with a tourism board. You can purchase a historic site passport here that will get you in to 6 of the the local sites. Includes 5 houses and the city museum. Cost is $15 a person, but if you don't purchase it, you pay individually at each place. If you are a walker, all sites are walkable.

Small as far as national park visitor centers go, but the on-site ranger was very friendly and the large diorama of the town as it appeared in the past was neat to look at.

When coming somewhere new these welcome centers are a great way to get an idea on stuff to do in the area. The employees are happy to share their information and knowledge with you to make your trip more enjoyable and sometimes less stressful

My mother's family is tied closely to St. Genevieve and the staff were very knowledgeable about the town and it's practices.

Unreliable, would be helpful to have the running hours posted at the ferry terminal as well. Don't bother calling. Only runs weekends as of now. Its a pretty area at least.

Quite impressed with this river-crossing service! It offers a seamless way to transport your car across the river with speed and affordability. The scenic views along the journey are simply breathtaking, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. The service staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth and pleasant trip. I couldn't be happier with my experience and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a convenient river-crossing solution

The Ste Genevieve ferry is a fun way to go over to Illinois and tour around there. The Mississippi water levels have been too low, then too high and the ferry has not operated for quite some time. It is now back operating again and hopefully will continue to operate as long as the river levels keep near normal. It’s a fairly small ferry but they seem to do a good job keeping you safe during the river crossing.

I called before going there today on New Year's Eve but the lady said that it would be closed until Sunday but I still wanted to go look around. The views of the river were pretty good and there was about a half-mile trail that led into the woods alongside the river which was nice. I can't wait to try the ferry out soon.

Something different. Nice way to cut right into St Genevieve . Sometimes the ferry is on the other side of the river so not always the quickest route . Awesome to see first hand the power of the river and the skill of the captain navigating the current

We love having this access to Ste. Genevieve. We come from Illinois for the Annual Down's Syndrome ride benefit and love that we can cross the river on the ferry.

$20.00 to go over the Mississippi where the Grafton ferry is free. Limited days of service, what's going on here?

Enjoy going out of town to this Waterpark. Families enjoy getting cool here. Their snack area has a wide choices, and staff friendly and fast

Great little waterpark! Concessions and locker rental were reasonably priced. I rented a small locker for $6. We went on a very busy Saturday so the lines to slides and concessions were long but there’s not much you can do about that. We will be back! Buy your tickets on line and skip the ticket counter!

We brought our 5yo granddaughter and it was an entire day of fun. She had a blast in the kids area. She never ran out of stuff to do which is amazing at that age. We also floated the lazy river a couple of times and enjoyed lunch at the café. The food was good and priced well. Overall it was definitely worth the price and a new fun option for our family to go to.

Definitely fun for the price point. Concession stand has reasonable prices. Our biggest complaint is that it is not easy to get around. If you have multiple kids and are bouncing around from spot to spot, it’s like a maze for no reason. It would be easy to put more direct walking paths in and I don’t really know why they wouldn’t. It’s a lot of weaving around and that got pretty old for my kids pretty quick. Staff was friendly.

We really enjoyed the park. However, there were some strange rules. My child is going through a phase where they don't like water in their eyes so I got them goggles. They could where them everywhere but going down the slide. That's where most of the water is getting splashed up into the eyes. Also they couldn't go down the slide on my lap, toddler. The literal shortest slide mind you. I guess every water park is different.

We went on Saturday the 21st. The first real hot day of this heat wave. It was packed but We still got a locker and enjoyed our time in the main pool. The lines were never ending so be careful when picking what days and times to go. Since the lines for concessions only continued to grow and there wasn't anywhere to sit we didn't stay and eat or anything. So that cut our visit short. But we are looking forward to going back, hopefully we will get lucky and pick a day not so crazy hot or busy.

If you’ve ever dreamed of spending your day surrounded by screaming children, getting splashed every three seconds, and sitting on the ground because every chair is taken—this is the spot. It’s basically Spring Break for toddlers. That said, the place was super clean, well-maintained, and overall great for families. Just not my cup of tea. If you have kids, they’ll love it. If you don’t… maybe bring headphones and low expectations.

Such a fabulous place to visit and learn about our French colonial history and how tolerant and open minded the local Ste Genevieve people were for their time. Such diversity and tolerance compared to almost any place us in America.

The park ranger was very knowledgeable about the history of the house and town. The parks department has done a fantastic job on upkeep.

Stopped by and with no one else there, got a private tour from the National Park Ranger. Great history and as cool diorama of St. Genevieve in 1836. This is now part of a new National Park...recommended!

Doug from the NPS provided a very informative tour with the background of French colonial architecture. We enjoyed the diorama of 1832 Ste Genevieve also. If you're looking for a gift shop or an interactive experience for kids, look elsewhere.

Another of the historic homes in the Saint Genevieve Historic Site.

So pleased to hear the docents recall the pioneer spirit and explain how the house was built and why it remains a stellar example of architectural excellence of the time.... In other words... Built to last

Great historic site! Interesting architecture. Our tour guide/ park ranger was excellent!

What a wonderful place to enjoy nature with loved ones! A good 2 mile hike through the woods. Incredible rock formations. Not ADA accessible.

The Trail Through Time is our favorite in the area! So much to see; caves, bluffs, coves, rock formations, etc. Varied and interesting trail, although somewhat tricky to navigate at times (scrambling over and around rocks/roots). Took us just over an hour to do the full loop with time to stop and take pictures. Not crowded at all on a Wednesday afternoon in July.

Like a mini-Elephant Rocks, this trail has some fantastic rock formations to explore. The trail is only 2 miles long, but it felt longer due to all the ups and downs. There are numerous tiny side trails to scenic spots, but the path is blazed with red arrows and white squares, which assuaged our fears of getting lost.

Edit: Me and my date both poison ivy in little places all over, so is prolly recommend long sleeves that go directly in the wash after. I visited in summer though, so that wasn't an option 😅. --- I was told there were lots of "small waterfalls".. and there were maybe 3? And they were 2-3 ft drops? 😅 I'd probably call it a nice hike through the woods with a few water trickles of water 😁. And if you think of it that way, it was very nice. Pretty shady most of the time, some cool rocks - rocks were cooler than the water. Barely saw people, but heard them a few times. Definitely requires a bit of careful foot placement. The sign said it takes 1 hours, but we eneded up taking 1.5 - both from being a little slow and sightseeing/getting turned around.

No restrooms, water, or from what i saw no trash cans... plan accordingly. It's a very busy trail (i went on Saunday afternoon on Father's day), well-maintained. Not the best for trail running since it's narrow in some spots, and people kinda can't and/or just don't won't move over.. Highly recommended and I plan on going often.

Really nice overall. Definitely moderate hiking and lots of sights. Lots of rambling water and little waterfalls. No restrooms though

Great hike, alot of climbing but, Wow! the rock formations are spectacular.

This is one of my all-time favorite wineries now. Yes, the cave is AWESOME! But the wines are delicious across the board, the cheese, meats and biscotti you can try during a wine pairing are phenomenal. The staff is extremely friendly and they have beer and spirits too if you’re not a wine drinker. Plus the property is beautiful.

Had a great motorcycle ride to Cave Vineyard. It's about an hour South of St. Louis in the country. My bike handled the hilly and winding roads like a dream. I sampled some wines and spirits, all were very good. I really liked the Rockin' Rosie and bought a bottle. They had meats, cheeses, crackers, and almond biscotti 😋 which I took down to the cave. Some dripping from the ceiling, so I got a lot of "kisses" from the cave (that's what the sign said). 😅

Coming with kids here Sunday around 11 am is probably the best. Since Saturday has pizza and carts, Sunday was a bit slower, but perfect for family picnic. Get a bottle of favorite wine and snacks at the tasting room and make a short walk to the cave. On the hot day - perfect spot to sip chill wine.

This was such a cool place to visit. We went on a cold and rainy day so we weren't there long. The nice lady at the main bar in the tasting room was very nice and helpful to talk to. The cave was such a unique place. Everywhere you looked was just cool. You must go if for no other reason just because it's different.

Really cool setup all around . You can see the whole operation. They not make wine , but also distill their own spirts (brandy) and make their own beer . Pretty sure it was one of the owners behind the bar serving up the wine tasting amd making suggestions. Definitely knew her stuff and offered other ideas based after tasting different wines . Of course the cave is cool also and worth a bottle of wine . The decent is decently steep and thr walk up could be hard for some . It was raining the day we visited . I would suggest taking a blower down the path to the cave and getting rid of the leaves was really slippery . Really enjoyed our visit here and would come back again .

Wine is a matter of taste, this is why I do not rate their wine, but a wine tasting out of little plastic cups (Like at the dentist) is something only people do who are not proud of what they produced. Even if you buy a bottle, what is by the way required to see the cave, you would get plastic cups. I hope they improve their service and do something for the taste of their wine and the environment. For me it will be a one time visit.

While a bit on the small side the Cave Winery still has quite a bit to offer. The tasting was $5 for 5 tastings. The Rocking Rosie was my favorite of the five the others were too tart for my liking. They serve fresh made biscotti for $1 each and it was very good. They offer a golf cart ride down the paved path to the cave if you don't feel like walking down. You can bring your own picnic lunch with you to eat in the cave. Fair warning...it is damp inside the cave but if that's not to your liking they have a small pavilion with just outside of the cave. There are no restroom facilities at the actual cave site so make sure to go at the main building if you need to.

We did the Pickle Creek trail and had a lot of fun. Beautiful trail alongside the creek. Lots of rocks and roots to navigate but it just made it more interesting. There were restrooms with pit toilets in the parking lot, not terrible but not great either. Looked like there were nice picnic areas, but we didn't use them.

I did the white oaks trail one week and then the full whispering pines trail the following week in early October 2024. They should just close the white oak trail in my opinion, the views aren’t great and the trail isn’t maintained very well/ the path is very small for some reason. The whispering pines trail on the other hand is easily one of the best hikes in Missouri. The Pine trees transport you to the north west without having to compromise on weather. Great overlooks, fun but challenging hills and cliffs, and then at the southern most point is a serene stream and cool area to relax. I can’t wait to be back.

Nice and clean park! Large with many trails. We did the Pickle Creek Trail, which was beautiful and scenic, but also not easy. Definitely be prepared for a more difficult hike, with lots of rocks and downed trees to climb over.

Visited the park for a look at the overlook walkway by the park office and then a hike on White Connector 3. Following that, I took a short drive along Park Drive (doesn't every MO State Park have a Park Drive?) and ran across a sight in a camping area that I've never seen before in any park. Check out the photos for Santa-fied skeleton buddies. On 23 July 2025. People do some amazing things........

This park is absolutely beautiful. Did the whispering pine north trail and it's beautiful. Not too difficult and not too long if you take the white connector in the middle.

Such a beautiful park. Very peaceful. They have several walking trails. Place to camp. A little park area with picnic tables. Could spend the whole day here. The rocks are really pretty and different. Lots of granite.

Highly recommend it for the area. Trees were still dead from winter. It can be confusing if you are doing south loop of the trail so pay attention to the map. Two of our friends got lost for a while

Weingarten vineyard has recently changed ownership and is now open again. They have a spectacular building that is well worth going to, with a great bar, large dining area with tall windows for a view and a nice patio dining area. In good weather, the patio/deck area provides a comfortable place to relax and enjoy a drink or light meal while enjoying the view. They are currently open Thursday through Sunday, but would not be surprised if the days and times change as fall and winter approach. Drinks and a lunch menu is available and I understand that a dinner menu will be available at some point.

Best place to visit they have the most amazing suites if you looking to stay over night , Eric and Joe they were great hosts will definitely going back

Weingarten Vineyard is truly a spectacular venue for any event! As a DJ, I’ve had the pleasure of performing here on multiple occasions, and it never fails to impress. The vineyard setting offers breathtaking views, and the venue itself perfectly blends rustic elegance with modern charm. The staff is incredibly welcoming and professional, making every event seamless for both vendors and guests. The atmosphere is perfect for creating unforgettable memories, whether it's a wedding or another celebration. If you're looking for a stunning venue with fantastic service, Weingarten Vineyard is an excellent choice!

Nice view and the building is beautiful. Unfortunately, there's absolutely no table service. If you want food or drink, you go inside to the bar. Or you can order food via a QR Code, but no one comes and checks on you After your food is brought to you. I ordered a nice salad. Unfortunately., it was pretty much lettuce and no dressing. Presentation was great, just no flavor.

This place is truly a hidden gem. Beautiful vistas, gorgeous interior (reminiscent of a church), and incredible food/wine. The owners are genuinely nice people who take great pride in their beautiful business. They recently became an Inn. We were fortunate enough to be their very first guests. The room was absolutely gorgeous. The views from the private porch are stunning. The food and wine was incredible. We had a very romantic evening. I highly recommend his place for a weekend trip, overnight stay, or romantic dinner. Far enough out that you can see the beautiful night sky free of light pollution. Close enough that you don't have to take time off work. Perfect place to spend an anniversary or romantic weekend getaway. Close to pickle springs and other beautiful state parks this place is perfect spot to springboard a weekend trip. Local restaurants like The Kozy and the Dew Drop Inn make this place a must stay. We plan to visit at least once a year and make it a tradition because we love it so much! Important to note: Everything is clean, bathrooms spotless Food is highest quality Huge variety of wine selection The owners treat every guest like family Plenty of parking Owners have their pets on site but they stay outside 🥺 Beautiful interior decorating Quiet and Peaceful Owners accommodate your needs and are premptively considerate Beautiful paths to walk Lack of light pollution Security is sound Private porch Local restaurants are top notch Local parks are beautiful Vistas are beautiful Feel free to ask me any questions This place is only going to get better and better as we were there first guests and they still have a lot of improvements they hope to incorporate. And we still had a five star experience

Excellent place to have that really nice dinner experience!! Food is always exceptional and the views out the dining room windows are a nice backdrop. You should look into renting one of their two overnight stay rooms - but because of their popularity they book up fast so plan accordingly!!

Really nice place to have a glass of wine.

Wine is very quite nice! The owners a joy to chat with, and the snacks are local, fresh and yummy. The setting looking over the vines and the sunset view, breathtaking!!! I can't wait to go back. We had a family reunion there - it was the best yet!!! Mel

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The wines were amazing. Loved the White Merlot and the Sangria! As other reviews have stated, don't let the outside fool you. This place is top notch!!

I wasn't aware that we weren't being served Watertowers own wine. My husband and I like to support small businesses and would have preferred to buy one of their bottled wines. Only once did the server tell us that one of the tastings wasn't "theirs" We didn't see until later that we had actually purchased a bottle of Beringer. We learned a lesson today.

Very friendly people and pleasant atmosphere. Only a couple of their own wines on offer currently. Additional wines waiting for government approval.

Love this place! Wonderful wines, literally the best sangria on the Route cu Vin. Brad and Jean are wonderful hosts, love the view from the back deck.

Friendly staff, delicious wine, beautiful atmosphere. What more do you need?

Great wine, friendly staff and cool decor! They also host some excellent music!

Very cool space with mead and wine options produced by the owners. Both the meads and wines that we tried were great! Indoor and outdoor seating options available. Food also available, light snacks.

Our favorite place since we found it. We went to sample mead a few years ago. We found amazing people who bring joy to everyone they meet! Such a wonderful and hip environment in such an old, beautiful, and interesting place. Very forward thinking, community, and environmentally conscious, and inspiring women. The mead is delicious. They have dry to sweet meads from local honey and ingredients. They have an adorable little store with unique and some handmade items. They have yard games for outside and board games if you want to stay inside. There is outdoor seating, and friendly pets are welcome to come along with their customers at their outdoor seating. You need this experiemce! We frequent Brix for refills and bottles of our favorites! Edit: Our new favorite is the new seasonal Ginger Mead called Ginger Wonderland for the holidays. WOW! It tastes like Christmas. Smooth, with cinnamon and meadowfoam flower honey...🤯. I bought a case, because I know I am going to want this longer than the holidays! I want it all year!

This is such a fun winery and has the best mead we’ve ever tasted! The mead is well balanced, not too sugary sweet. We loved the All Burn! It’s a nice place to enjoy the day and we’ll definitely be back!

Interesting place with a wide variety of options. I tried and liked several of their wines and had a slushy during my visit. I don’t remember who helped with our tasting but he was friendly and explained a lot about their wines. Would definitely recommend!

The two ladies working the counter here were so delightful and the meads were delicious. Bought a bottle of Cherry on Top (cherry mead) and Traditions (cranberry fruit wine) to take home. I loved how they had all the rooms set up for people. We sat on a loveseat one one of the rooms. Will be returning next time we’re in st. Gen!

I have only been to a handful of locations which sell mead. Hands down, this was by far the best tasting I had experienced. I ended up getting a growler and a bottle on my way out. I am definitely going back and taking my girlfriend. The inside is very quaint, but it also has an outside venue as well. Unfortunately the day I went, it was miserable outside (rain). Remember mead is strong, so it's not about quantity, but quality. They only sell 32 oz. growlers, but that is more than the 750 ml bottle. The staff there were very nice and actually brought my buddy and I a couple of samples, so we could taste all the variety available. It was worth it because we both walked out of there with a growler and a bottle. I recommend going and experiencing the various flavors Brix has to offer. I believe it is only open on weekends, so make it a destination day!!

We had our first experience with Mead at Brix. It was absolutely delicious. We polished off our last bottle. Excited to go back.

We love it here, the views are stunning! Great place to sit back and relax and listen to their local musicians. The fire pits add that extra cozy feeling as well! Their staff is amazing, very helpful and attentive to your needs! They make the BEST special drink flights!! Their food is so good as well, I would suggest the pretzels and steak bites. You won't regret it!! It was an overall amazing experience and we will continue to visit frequently!

We had an AMAZING day at this beautiful winery. The food was not only delicious, but also beautifully plated. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. The view is absolutely breathtaking. We highly recommend and will be coming back!!

Had a friend’s 40th birthday celebration here and had the best time! The staff were super friendly and accommodating! The drinks were tasty (the Margarita flight is a must!) and the food hit the spot! Highly recommend the buffalo chicken wontons! 🤌🏻 Everyone had a great time and you can’t beat the view. The sun was out for a bit and was so nice, but we were happy for the outdoor heaters once the sun went down and it got chilly. Overall 5 ⭐️ for sure!

My husband and I truly love Charlevilles! The workers are knowledgeable, attentive, and kind! They always make sure we are satisfied with our drinks, food, and the all around experience. The atmosphere is perfect for a date with your significant other or a group of friends/family! I am so glad we have a beautiful place to go and enjoy each other’s company.

I’ve been to this winery for a few events and well as just a relaxing and of wine and friends. Beautiful scenery, relaxing atmosphere, good food, and friendly staff. The wine selection as well as the wristbands make for a fun way to try different selected wines. The view of the valley is very relaxing.

Had a delightful afternoon eating charcuterie board, pizza, drinking wine and talking with friends. Service was nonexistent, non-attentive and busy with phones. Charcuterie board came with enough crackers for 1/3 of the board, but could buy more. Needed a bucket of ice for chilled bottle of wine, but offered a plastic bag with ice for $5. Delightful, charming location with magnificent view. Need to improve on the hospitality and making customers fill welcome!

It was fun finding this place, great beer selection. Really good Red Ale and Santa Claus Stout. Pizza was also very good. Great view. Oh yeah they have wine also. 05 21 25 we came back ate drank and made merry. Great place. Got my Tornado Alley to go.

We came to St Genevieve to enjoy the historic charm of a small town. When we came to the historic site tour, we had very little idea about the nature and style of the $6/ person tour which, overall was incredibly informative, and quite enjoyable. We found it strange that the tour guide never gave her name, but then asked each of us personal information about our occupations, and what we wanted to be when we grew up (presumably to get to know us)... However, The tour guide kind of put each of us down/kind of insulted us when we told her our occupations and our dream jobs. Two of the four of us are in the food service industry (essential workers during the pandemic) and the tour guide was incredibly insulting in regards to what we do and what our dreams were.... but I digress. The first part of the tour was mildly chaotic as there had been another couple there and the guide was attempting to address both groups. Eventually she caught her rhythm and began to give an in-depth history lesson from which I was able to learn a lot about Ste. Genevieve's history. We were then shown the other rooms of the house. The place is beautiful. Filled with beautiful antiques. Lots of spiritual energy in the space. The upstairs is available to tour which is a first for me in a historical home. Upstairs is a single room with a small model home, a few flags, and a spindle (which I found to be weird since the guide said the town had basically no weavers since the French traded flour for fabric... ) We did not stay long upstairs which seemed to surprise the tour guide as she was already unmasked and ready to give up on the tour. We did not see the kitchen or slave quarters as it seemed the guide was done, but we did have an overall enjoyable time.

Love the old homes

Interesting

(Translated by Google) Very (too) long visit. No French translation (Original) Visite très (trop) longue . Aucune traduction en français

Interesting old architecture that is part of the Saint Genevieve National Historic Site.

Really interesting place and nice looking.

So cool a piece of history. This home is part of my family history. A must see.

What a gem? It wasn't open....I'd like to come back. Beautiful property.

It was not open so we were unable to really experience this place. Maybe the next time we visit the area it will be open. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

Interesting story and unique home.

Glad they restored these old houses !

Our guide gave us a very informative tour on this historically significant home. There's only three rooms to view at the moment and not much to view in them but it's still a really neat little stop in and admission is free. You can find out what time the tours take place at the welcome center right across the street.
