  • Tour of Private Homes:  Prairie Park and Oak Grove
Prairie Park


  Built 1845-49 by William B. Sappington,
  son of Dr. John Sappington, promoter of quinine

Long considered one of Missouri's premier pieces of architecture, "Prairie Park" celebrates its 150th anniversary in 1999. Predominantly Greek Revival in style, this country mansion simply sparkles! The entry hallway and double parlors present beautiful detail molding befitting the home of a prominent entrepreneur and politician of the Boonslick in antebellum Missouri. Once the center of a 600 acre plantation, only one of the original outbuildings remains. The original summer kitchen has been incorporated into the main home which consists of two stories, four rooms over four rooms, with a center hall, and a two-story "T" wing at the rear of the house.

"Prairie Park," a private residence, is available for group tours with advance reservations through the Friends of Arrow Rock. Minimum number in group is six (6). Tickets are $8.00 per person.

Oak Grove

  Completed in 1854, "Oak Grove" was the thriving plantation of George A. Murrell, an immigrant from Barron County, Kentucky. Murrell had been trading in dry goods and mules up and down the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers from New Orleans to Carrollton, Missouri, until the day in 1852 he journeyed to Napton (then called Jonesboro) to purchase a lot of mules and ended up buying the farm. "Oak Grove" has remained in the Murrell family since and has recently been extensively restored by a fifth generation family member, Blaine Murrell McBurney.

"Oak Grove," a private residence, is available for group tours with advance reservations through the Friends of Arrow Rock. Minimum number in group is six (6). Tickets are $8.00 per person.
