Beautiful Victorian Home. Tour Guide Ginger was an amazing historian of the home and have a wonderfully nice personality. The home is well kept and clean, very much worth $10 dollars per person. Our tour last around an hour long as well. I contributed $50 to keep the home in tip top shape.

Mark T

Great little museum preserving a little chapter of St Louis history. An Intern gave the tour and did a good job

Yi Gan

Lovely restored and preserved Victorian home! Honestly the most beautiful historic home I've toured. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and presented in details about the house! A must see in st Louis!!

Dave Cameron

Stellar house remaining from the mid-1800s - that is the only remnant of the gorgeous homes from the era from a time when this was where the "well-heeled" of St. Louis lived. One gets a guided tour that takes about an hour; you pay at the end. The people who run the tours are volunteers and passionate about what they do. For much of the 2nd half of the 19th century - this was THE place to be in town if you had money and were "in society". Because of some quirks to this family, as all the other fancy houses fell into disrepair and were demolished as the wealthy of St. Louis moved west, this one ended up getting preserved. 90%+ of the furniture is original! We saw nearly every room while learning about the family and the era.

John Loza

Exquisitely preserved victorian mansion with many original furnishings. The docents are very knowledgeable about both the family and the house. A real piece of St Louis and American history

Drew Behrens

This is an unbelievable experience. The house, story, and furnishings are all restored and so unique. If visiting St. Louis, this should be a top attraction, along with the Arch, Zoo, Soulard, Lafayette Square, Forest Park, and Anheuser Busch Brewery. The tour is very reasonably priced and worth every penny.

K Bergeron

This is a national scale gem. The history of the average American making good. The Campbell story is worth hearing. The home is preserved from the last relative, as if they just walked out and left it for us. Mrs Campbell spent more on opulent decor for one room than was spent on purchasing the house. This is a fabulous view of the past. Best mansion tour I've seen. Highly recommend.

Doc Phineas

An amazing mansion in downtown Saint Louis completely restored to period. So opulent with many original furnishings dont miss the carriage house ! This place is gorgeous! US Grant came to dinner there when he was president. Also I think very haunted...

Mark Zeman

Top flight historic home, rich in history and well maintained. The docent was well versed in the local history and the incredibly furniture and household wares. Exceptional. I rank it second best only after the Cupples House. Moderate admission charged.

Daniel Campbell

Very interesting museum experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about every accept of the home and its contents. The social situation at the time of the building of the home and over the home’s early periods in Saint Louis was well explained. It was an excellent learning opportunity.

Keys

Please make time and get a tour here from Kathie( She works on Sundays) She really tells the history and you can feel the passion and care when she talks. ( Bonus:One of her family members were friends with the family)

T MILLER

Interesting bit of St. Louis history making this spot well worth the visit. Incredible family possessions on display from the 19th century. Excellent tour guide who was very knowledgeable on the Campbell Family history and items on display.

Paula Clements

Loved this place. Very good piece of history. The guide was very informed. Would have loved to have seen them redo the nursery.

Charles Wells

What a great tour. We had the whole place to ourselves. This house was fascinating

Jeff Pelc

So many amazing antiques, The tour guides are amazing and excellent people. Definitely worth 10 bucks a person.

Desi Reyes

Wonderfully restored 1800s Victorian home. Great tour led by docent.

Christopher Hiebert

Great house from the late 1800s. Beautifully restored. Tour was great.

Thomas Biedermann

If you are in St. Louis, you have to visit here. The staff takes time to explain all of the history of this house, and you'll learn a lot.

René Morales

If you live in the greater St Louis area and don't know the Campbell House Museum, you don't know what you're missing. Not only is this museum an absolute gift to St Louis, this museum is an exceptional treasure among ALL museums. To be able to visit a home restored to its former glory is one thing, but to have over 90% of its contents be original artifacts is truly amazing. The volunteer staff that provide tours, research, gardening and other duties, are wonderful people who love St Louis history. It shows in every detail of this grand example of mid-Victorian design. Kudos to the Campbell House Foundation for saving this home from the march of progress, otherwise it would be a multistory office building converted to lofts, or worse yet, a parking lot. Thanks to CHF, everyone has a very accurate depiction of an home from the mid-to-late 19th century. Would recommend for anyone interested in history, architecture, design, fashion, engineering, and/or St. Louis. My most recent trip is my 4th one. I'm always glad to bring newbies to this fabulous museum.

Mark Naes

This museum is exceptional. I have toured many historic houses and to find one in this condition and possessing so much of the original contents is truly impressive. Will come back again with history loving friends and family. Docent presentation was great along with the display and access to the dwelling.

Paula Johnson

Gorgeous Victorian mansion with many of the original furnishings, and carefully researched reproduction decor. Worth the cost of the guided tour!

L Joe

Amazing! If you like historic homes this is the place! Tons of artifacts that are original to the property.

Kathryn V

Amazing fun! Fascinating history. Was totally surprised by how interesting and lovely the house was. A great way to learn more about the history of St Louis, the Campbell family, and historical furniture/fabrics/cooking/life/etiquette, you name it. It's a must do on your list of St Louis tourist stops. Tour took about an hour but didn't feel long at all because it was so interesting. They have chairs for individuals unable to stand that long. Does not have elevators though (historical home after all) and you will have to climb a manageable amount of stairs (only a floor at a time though).

Louise Cook

This was one of the most wonderful museums I've ever visited. What made it stand out is that the original Furnishings, as they were in the 1850s, had been restored. Even after the neighborhood declined, the Campbell house stayed in place because of the afflictions of one of the sons. There were photographs of the Interior so the restores knew exactly what to do and how the furniture was arranged. It was fascinating.

Bridget Mwaniki

Campbell House is amazing! Went there last Saturday, and it was amazing learning about the Campbells as well as the elegant house. The lady who gave us a tour, Victoria, was so nice and informed. Loved it! If you’re thinking about it, go visit Campbell house! You won’t regret it.

Erica Jo Barr

One of the best historical homes we've been to! I promise you won't regret your visit here! So beautifully preserved and filled with beautiful, original furniture! Loved this place so much!

Crystal W

I love this place, especially at Christmas. It was beautifully decorated for the holiday. My 16 year old daughter even enjoyed the visit. I can't remember the name of the docent at the Christmas tree/kids entertainment floor (yes, the children had their own ENTIRE floor for when the kids had visitors! 😯) area but her stories we're absolutely mesmerising. Will for sure go back! Five stars for sure!!! ❤️

Vickie Hansen

Very interesting and beautiful. The home is restored very well and the original furniture and paintings are fantastic. Great tour guide. Loved this! I wholeheartedly recommend visiting this little known gem of a place here in Saint Louis!

Mauricio Suarez

Beautiful gem of St Louis history! The top floors were unfortunately closed for reno but the bottom one was enough to totally marvel us. Victoria was an amazing host and tour guide!

Kimberly Voss

I take my high school classes here every semester and all my students love going. The house is beautiful with all original family members furniture. The staff is friendly and informative. Parking lot beside and behind house. $8.00 check for times on their website which is very helpful. Gift shop and bathroom on the property.

Ken Thetford

One of the best Victorian era homes I have ever visited. The furniture, decor and woodwork is 90% original. Family tragedy lies behind how this home survived when all around it were decimated by progress. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and passed along family history that made the home come alive.

Herta Iurie

Gorgeous place, informative tour. You have just to visit it

Amy Goslik

Our docent Maureen was a wealth of information and transported us back in time with her amazing stories about the house and the people that lived there. This historical landmark is a true gem and must-see for anyone that is interested in the history of St Louis!

Audrey Cox

Outstanding experience; well-preserved furnishings and a great story and tour guide. Highly recommend!

marci donovan

Always an enjoyable visit. An historic treasure in St. Louis there are a number of steps and stairs in this three-story pre-Victorian home. Immaculately restored with a nice gift shop (especially the books).

Jeri Dietz

Beautifully restored mansion in the middle of St. Louis. Has a rich history about a philanthropic family who did a lot of good things for the people of St. Louis and beyond. A true gem that everyone should visit at least once.

Zitrona Kokosnuss

If you wanna go back in history this is a place to visit. You can see how people lived in 1851 and find out about their life in those days. Its a very unique place. The guided tour was very interesting and it kinda blows you away to see the inside of the house!

Robbin Oehler

Wow such a treasure in the center of St. Louis. Our docent was outstanding. His depth of knowledge about the Campbell family and the furnishings of the house was amazing. Beautiful home.

Fritz Clifford

This is THE BEST historic house museum I have ever visited! The furniture and art are original (which is very rare for house museums) and spectacular. The docents are incredibly knowledgeable and the history is worthwhile!

Unglaublich Charlatan

Museum is definitely very historic. It requires some knowledge in architecture or at least some interest in it to actually comprehend meanings behind the objects in this museum. Probably knowledge about the history overall would be helpful as well. The tickets are inexpensive.

terry hooper

The historical society tracked down almost every piece of furniture and personal items original to this house. A very enjoyable tour.

Dianna Jones

I had to come back and change my rating! I was touching the stars and it sent after the first one! WE Loved Our Visit at the Campbell House! We loved the amount of time that we were given to ask questions and explore the house! We plan on visiting again with more family and friends! Thank you ❣️

Shields

Felt like time traveling! So much history packed into this house, I honestly could visit hundreds of times and find something I didnt notice before. The tour guide was well informed and friendly.

Declan Rutan

A home frozen in time, with perhaps the most original furnishings of any historic home. The staff are wonderful, and insanely knowledgeable. If you are a fan of Downton Abbey or Upstairs Downstairs, you will love it!

Gina Broadus

(Translation) You can see the Victorian style American living environment. My mother liked it very much. It seems that there is time for the tour, but we went in with people waiting on the road. It's a short tour, but $10 seems to be enough. If you like interiors, buildings, or the American period, you should go there. (Original) 빅토리아 양식 미국 주거환경을 볼수있습니다. 어머니가 무척 좋아하셨습니다. 투어 시간이 있는것 같은데 저희는 길가다가 기다리는사람들따라 들어갔습니다. 짧은투어지만 10불값은 충분히 하는것 같습니다. 인테리어, 건물이나 미국 시대상을 좋아하시면 가보시면 좋겠습니다.
