Campbell House Museum
The Campbell House Museum is one of America’s premier historic property museums. Built in 1851, the Campbell House was the home of renowned fur trader and entrepreneur Robert Campbell and his family from 1854 until 1938.
The house is meticulously restored to its opulent 1880s appearance, when it was one of the centers of St. Louis society. The museum preserves the Campbells’ house and their collection of original furniture, fixtures, paintings, objects and thousands of pages of family documents.
The Campbell House was documented as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey between 1936 and 1941, designated a City of St. Louis Landmark in 1971, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and became a National Trust for Historic Preservation Save America’s Treasures project in 2000.
