Historic St. Louis Museum

Tucked away in Affton, Missouri stands the country home of the pioneer banker, Louis A. Benoist. Today, his mansion has been completely restored to its original beauty from 1853.

The house, now a historic museum, is owned and maintained by the Affton Historical Society. Oakland’s restoration began back in the early 1970s.

Visit us for a historic tour of one of Affton’s most hidden gems that was saved and still stands today. View our calendar for upcoming events and open house times.
