Tower Grove Park
A Victorian park donated by Henry Shaw, dotted with more than ten brightly painted pavilions in Chinese, Turkish and other styles; a farmers' market is held on Saturdays.
Tower Grove Park was donated in 1872 by Henry Shaw, founder of the Missouri Botanical Garden. It is a U.S. National Historic Landmark and preserves its Victorian-era layout. Scattered throughout the park are more than ten painted pavilions in Chinese, Turkish and other styles, along with statues and artificial ruins. Tulips and magnolias bloom in spring. From May to October there is a farmers' market on Saturday mornings, and in August a multicultural festival is held. Admission is free. It lies just south of the Missouri Botanical Garden, so the two can be visited together.
