Tower Grove Park
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
T
ower Grove Park has been cherished
over the years in part because it calls
to mind simpler times. Horse drawn
carriages likewise evoke warm images of
olden days. Horses and carriages have been part
of Tower Grove since its inception – the oldest
building in the Park is the stone stable. Much of
the original labor force was horse and mule muscle,
and a favorite mode of enjoying the park was by
horseback or carriage.

We are delighted to show you the beauty of Tower
Grove Park as it was originally designed to be
experienced, from the seat of a traditional horsedrawn vehicle. Tower Grove Park is a very historic
place with many unusual and attractive structures
and landscaping from the Victorian era. These
facilities are a big part of what makes a visit to
Tower Grove Park so special. Have a wonderful
time, and come back to Tower Grove Park often
to enjoy the soft whinny and friendly clip clop of
horses’ hooves.
Henry Shaw himself enjoyed showing visitors the Park from his
personal carriage.
Since 1998, with the help of a generous donor, the
Park has undertaken to provide park visitors the
opportunity to once again enjoy carriage services.
We have been careful to insure that our equestrian
program is run at the very highest level. We
have a beautiful Clydesdale gelding, Jimmy Joe,
and two handsome carriages – a surrey which can
accommodate 3 passengers, and a vis-à-vis which
can accommodate 4 or 5 passengers.
