Review:
Chesterfield is the largest city within western St. Louis County, located just half an hour outside of the St. Louis city center via Interstate 64. The city is located within the unique Gumbo Flats geographical region and is comprised of the historic communities of Bellefontaine, Lake, Gumbo, Monarch, and Bonhomme, which were combined to form the town in 1988. Today, the city is best known as the home of beautiful Faust Park, which is home to an historic village that preserves four homes and 14 structures constructed between 1840 and 1910. Thornhill Grounds preserve the former home of Missouri Governor Frederick Bates, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Other park attractions include a butterfly house, a children's playground, and the quaint St. Louis Carousel.
