During the open house you can tour the 1850s Conway House, home of Dr. Frederick and Lavinia Bates and its period herb garden and outdoor kitchen. You can also tour the circa 1848 log cabin of Ludwig and Salome Mertz, a dye and insect repellent garden, German vegetable garden, smokehouse, outhouse and woodshed and the Davis House which originally was a two-story log cabin with its detached wash house and smokehouse. On during the open house visitors may see a blacksmith at work in the Yokel barn. Guides in period dress will be available to answer questions. The Historic Village spanning the decades of 1840 to 1900 represents a cross-section of architectural styles and building materials as varied as the population of St. Louis County in the 19th century. All of the houses of the Historic Village were moved to Faust Park to save them from demolition. The homes vary from a modest log cabin and brick cottage built by German immigrants to larger and more sophisticated 2-story homes, built by established landowners. They are partially furnished appropriate to the period. The event is free and open to the public. The open house is from 1-5 p.m. Saturday. Visitors can also attend a Thornhill Open House in Faust Park on Saturday. Thornhill is the name of the original home of Frederick Bates, who was Missouri’s second governor. Built around 1819, it is the oldest existing governor’s residence in Missouri and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Admission to the Thornhill open house is free. “In Good Company,” an interpretive group, will provide a living history interpretation through period dress and first person character interactions. The year of interpretation will be 1824–the year Frederick Bates became Missouri’s second governor and when his farm was in full operation.
