Have you ever taken a close look at some of the buildings as you’ve cruised down Locust Street? We have some spectacular hidden treasures you’ve probably never noticed, and we’re going to host a walking tour next month to give you the inside scoop on some of them. And, in keeping with Campbell hospitality, we’ll end the tour with the usual refreshments and camaraderie.

Locust Street Architectural Walking Tour, Saturday October 27, 1-3 PM

Join Campbell House Museum’s Executive Director Andy Hahn for a walking tour of notable buildings in the Downtown West section of Locust Street. The group will begin at Campbell House (1508 Locust Street), and see the architectural highlights on a 6-block walk. The group will go inside the Leather Trades Artists Lofts and we will receive a behind-the-scenes peek at the staff-only areas of the historic Schlafly Tap Room (2100 Locust Street), where the tour will end. One delicious Schlafly beer is included in your ticket price. The tour begins at 1 PM in the Campbell House Museum garden.

Tour is limited to 25 guests to accommodate some tight spaces at the Tap Room, so make your reservation early!

Tickets are $30, or $25 for Campbell House Museum and Landmarks Association members. Call Campbell House at 314/421-0325 to make your reservation.
