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
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.
The history down in Ste Gen is so amazing. Allegedly going back to 1735. Hard to find that kind of history this side of the Mississippi. This house is actually one of the few vertical log style houses left in the US. I believe there are only 5 and 3 are in the Ste Gen area.nnThe tour is very quaint and community driven, which is awesome to see the local community take such pride in their history. The house itself is very nicely kept and has multiple displays. The best one being a scale model of Ste Gen during the post colonial era.nnThe tour does cost a few bucks, but if you go to the local tourism office in downtown Ste Gen you can get a passport for $15 a person and see six different sites around town. It's good for the calendar year and will save you a little cash if you visit most the places.
The ppl who show the house dress iin costume and know all the history.
