Victorian home- turned- museum was built in 1851 and features a carriage house, romantic gazebo and aromatic rose garden. This museum is a nonprofit organization.

The Campbell House Museum is an 1851 three- story townhouse once owned by Robert Campbell, one of St. Louis' most prominent residents. Because Campbell's sons lived in the home until 1938, and shortly after that it became a museum, 90 per cent of the Campbell furnishings have been retained making the museum a showcase of Victorian furnishings and decorative arts.

After a monumental five- year, million restoration the museum now stands as one of the most accurately restored 19th Century buildings in America, reflecting the high- Victorian opulence of the 1880s.
The museum contains hundreds of original Campbell possessions including furniture, paintings, clothing, letters, carriages and a unique set of interior photographs taken in the mid- 1880s.
Museum hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Campbell House is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and National holidays.
Admission and a guided tour is per person, children 12 and under are free. Reservations are not necessary.

Hours : 10a- 4p Tu- Sa, noon- 4p Su.
