Gen. John J. Pershing Boyhood Home State Historic Site
Gen. John J. Pershing Boyhood Home State Historic Site, Military historic site in Laclede, Missouri, US.
The nine-room Gothic Revival residence features period furnishings from the 1800s and exhibits detailing General Pershing's military accomplishments through photographs and artifacts.
The state of Missouri acquired the property in 1952 to prevent demolition, and in 1976 the site received National Historic Landmark designation.
The Prairie Mound School building adjacent to the home represents Pershing's early career as a teacher before his enrollment at West Point Military Academy.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources maintains guided tours of both the Gothic-style house and the restored schoolhouse throughout the regular visiting hours.
The garden includes a Wall of Honor listing veterans' names and displays a life-size statue of General Pershing created by sculptor Carl Mose in the 1950s.
