Take in the holiday charm of the Tappmeyer Homestead this year for our annual holiday tour. A perfect family tradition, you’ll enjoy the understated coziness and humbled beginnings of Creve Coeur as you imagine the family who once occupied the residence before it was moved to its current location in Millenium Park in 2003. Discover other homes participating in this regional tour at historicsaintlouis.org.

Dorinda was 6 years old and living in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.  She and her parents fled to nearby sugar cane fields and witnessed the bombing. When the American Girl doll Nanea was created, Dorinda served as a consultant in her development.  Her personal experiences have been the basis for her books about the history and culture of Hawaii and how the attack affected civilians.  Dorinda has since settled in Missouri and will share her story.
