The Felix Vallé House State Historic Site is a state-owned historic preserve comprising the Felix Vallé House and other early 19th-century buildings in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. It is managed by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
The site offers tours of the Felix Vallé House, a Federal-style limestone structure built in 1818 by Jacob Phillipson, a Jewish merchant from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that in 1824 became the commercial outlet and home of Felix Vallé and Odile Pratte-Vallé. An authentically stocked mercantile store representing the firm of Menard & Vallé is on display. Other features of the house include original mantels and interior trim, early Empire furnishings, an exterior staircase leading to the second-floor bedrooms, and a garden with original brick and frame outbuildings.
The Bauvais-Amoureux House (1792), which is open seasonally, and the Dr. Benjamin Shaw House (1819) are also part of the historic site.

  • Cool set of historic homes in the middle of historic downtown Ste Genevieve. The Shaw House across the street is included in the experience and has a gift shop. Guided tours throughout the day that will dig deep in to the history. Tour cost $5, but you can buy a "passport" at the local tourism office for $15 that will get you in to 6 sites total. They are all open at varying times, so plan ahead accordingly.
  • A very pretty place! The town of Ste. Genevieve will take you back in town. Have to pay for tours.
