Visit to the Anheuser FredMar estate and museum

NEW Event
Will go again: 2031
Cost: $10

NOTE: Like Larrimore House, FredMar is a wedding venue. We are penciled in, but if a wedding party calls, we get bumped!

"The ancestral home of Fred and Mabel Ruth Anheuser, affectionately known to many as Fredmar Farms, is located in Kimmswick, Missouri just 25 miles south of downtown St. Louis. This historic estate was gifted to Fred and Mabel Ruth in the 1940’s by his father, W. Fred Anheuser. Fred’s great grandfather, Eberhard Anheuser, was the founder of E.Anheuser Brewing Company. The brewery later became the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Company, producer of world famous Budweiser Beer, after Eberhard’s daughter Lillie married Adolphus Busch. Fred was the last Anheuser to work the brewery retiring as a Vice-President.
"The home was built in 1867, sits at the south end of the town by the Mississippi River at Water’s Point north of Hoppies Marina. The Anheuser family bought the estate in 1916 and used it as a summerhouse until 1945 when Mabel-Ruth and her husband, the late Frederick Straub Anheuser, moved there and named it Fredmar Farms." from https://cityofkimmswick.org/community/anheuser-estate/
