The Field House Museum is a dynamic museum and historic site focused on the Field family. The historic house was once the home of Roswell Field, a noted St. Louis attorney, and the birthplace of his son, Eugene Field, the father of the personal column and "Poet of Childhood." While living in the home, Roswell Field became the key attorney in the Dred & Harriet Scott Freedom Suit when he formulated the legal strategy that propelled the case to US Supreme Court. The house is designated a National Historic Landmark and has an attached museum featuring the Field House Museum's many collections, traveling exhibits, and Eugene Field Library.
