Walnut Park Farm Historic District

The district spans 87 acres and contains four primary buildings, including an L-form basement barn and a stable from the late 19th century.

Between 1870 and 1914, this livestock breeding farm developed into a substantial complex with numerous structures reflecting agricultural practices of the period.

The district preserves essential elements of Missouri's agricultural heritage through its gabled ell architectural style and traditional farm layout.

Located at the junction of MO 59 and MO 71, the site features several original structures that demonstrate historical farming methods and building techniques.

The property includes the remnants of an enclosed track and show ring where purebred horses were trained and displayed to potential buyers.
