Faust Park

Introduction

Faust Park is a roughly 600-acre comprehensive community park in Chesterfield, St. Louis County, Missouri, centered on the historic August Faust farmstead as its signature feature. Managed by the St. Louis County Parks and Recreation Department, the park most precious historic asset is the Faust Historic Farmstead built in the 1880s, including a Victorian farmhouse, barn, carriage house, and wine cellar, which opens to the public regularly and hosts nineteenth-century rural life demonstrations. Another highlight is the classic 1920s carousel, its painted wooden horses and gold-leaf trim still spinning after nearly a century, a shared childhood memory for generations of St. Louisans. The park also contains the expansive Sophia M. Sachs Unicorn House, a conservatory displaying rare cacti and succulents from around the world, along with picnic areas, hiking trails, a children playground, and a winter ice rink, making it a versatile family destination for weekend outings.
