Faust Park

St. Louis County restored the only known remaining African American school in the county. During the 1900s, African Schoolhouse #4 held about 20 Black children each school year before it closed in 1950.

Officials are hoping African School #4’s reconstruction at Faust Park Historic Village is complete either by the end of the year or early in 2023.

A one-room schoolhouse built in 1894 for African American children is moving to a St. Louis County park where it will be restored. African School #4 had been converted into a garage after the schoolhouse closed in the 1950s.
