KEEP US MOVING

The Sappington House Foundation exists to protect, preserve, and share the stories of our two historic homes; the 1808 Thomas Sappington House and the 1816 Joseph Sappington Log House.

 

Our mission is simple and heartfelt: "To preserve the past by inspiring generations to discover and appreciate their own and the community’s heritage."

 

Today, that mission is alive in our biggest undertaking: Bringing Joe Home. The Joseph Sappington Log House, lovingly called “Joe”, is being restored log‑by‑log so it can permanently reside in Sappington Park as a living piece of Missouri history.

• Restore Joe with historical accuracy

• Protect two centuries of craftsmanship
