Eugene Field House, Historic house museum in St. Louis, United States
The Eugene Field House features a three-story brick structure with stone sills, lintels, and a paneled recessed entrance at 634 South Broadway.
Built in 1845, this residence belonged to Roswell Field, who served as the attorney for Dred Scott during the landmark Supreme Court case.
The museum contains exhibits about Eugene Field, who wrote numerous children's poems, including the widely recognized Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
The museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Saturday between 10 AM and 4 PM, with adult admission at 10 dollars.
Mark Twain contributed to a commemorative plaque on the house in 1902, despite knowing it was not Eugene Field's actual birthplace.
