Oakland House Museum, Affton MO

I had the pleasure of attending a book launch party for a novel called Miss Mary by Kathbell Stumpf at the Oakland House Museum. The event was amazing and the drinks were free! What more could you ask for? The novel is a paranormal mystery with elements of historical fiction set in the 19th century, and the Oakland House Museum was the perfect venue for it. The house is old, large and very well kept. It has a rich history and a beautiful architecture. The atmosphere felt great, with large rooms and a big driveway. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the museum had many interesting exhibits to explore. I especially enjoyed the antique furniture and the paintings. The book launch party was well-organized and fun, with a lively discussion with the author and a book signing session. I got to meet some fellow book lovers and learn more about the novel and its inspiration. I highly recommend visiting the Oakland House Museum if you are interested in history, culture or just looking for a relaxing day out. It is a hidden gem in Affton, Missouri, and a great place to host events like book launches, weddings or parties. Just make sure you don’t drink too much of the free booze, or you might end up in one of the museum’s spooky stories!

We were there for a Memorial Service. A nice place for small gatherings. Beautiful house and grounds.

My niece's bridal shower was held there, and it was fabulous. Beautiful setting and wonderful ladies running the place.

We absolutely love the gem! The grounds are so beautiful with decorations all year round. The house is absolutely gorgeous for any life event. My kids and I enjoy the Santa House and Bunny Hutch every year. It’s a fabulous place accommodating for all ages and events. A definite must visit!

Beautiful place although it's definitely haunted as I've had paranormal experiences there growing up as a kid in that neighborhood. The owner of the property and the house, lake, and cemetery also says the place is definitely haunted including his own home down the hill a bit. Have seen personally figures walking past windows when noone should have been there at night. Had even been handcuffed by police one night thankfully the security cameras proved we never stepped on property and that some how the front door had unlocked and opened it self ajar which when a neighbor saw us just sitting there at end of drive way talking, they assumed we were up to no good. On our walk home police detained us and almost gave us a breaking and entering charge thankfully Greg, creg, or Mike I can't remember the owners name came to my rescue and confirmed to the cops that I and my friends would never trespass and that he knows me personally. Poor swan on that lake growing up I always felt bad that it's mate died.
