St. Louis Neighborhoods

Kirkwood

Kirkwood, a neighborhood with authentic small town flavor, was the first planned suburb west of the Mississippi. Today the area offers visitors a variety of experiences – from The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum to the quiet solitude of nature on hiking trails in the Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center. At beautiful Laumeier Sculpture Park visitors stroll through more than 100 acres of art in an outdoor setting. Mudd’s Grove, a charming three-story house, now home to the Kirkwood Historical Society, gives visitors a glimpse of the past.

To reach Kirkwood, take I-44 west from downtown St. Louis to Lindbergh north for downtown Kirkwood and The Magic House or Lindbergh south for Laumeier Sculpture Park and Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center. Call (314) 821-4161 or visit www.kirkwooddesperes.com, or contact the Downtown Kirkwood Junction Special Business District at (314) 822-0084 or www.kirkwoodjunction.com.
