Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Bauvais-Amoreux House was built around 1792 for Jean-Baptiste St. Gemme Bauvais, overlooking le Grand Champ, Ste. Genevieve’s communal agricultural fields. The house has upright cedar log walls set into the earth in the uncommon poteaux-en-terre construction method. Hand-hewn heavy timbers support the steeply-pitched roof similar to the early French Canadian architecture. The house was purchased by Benjamin Amoureux in 1852 and is now part of the National Park Service. The house is open for tours. Informative displays explain how vertical log buildings were constructed. A large diorama depicts the village of Ste. Genevieve as it was in 1832.
