Historical Walking Tours

Take a Walk Though Webster Groves

The Historic Webster Walks series was created to provide residents and visitors with a look inside the unique character of Webster Groves, Missouri. Each of the seven walks include an accompanying guidebook designed so that individuals, schools, scouts and other groups can tailor the walks to their own pace or particular interest.
​
Sites on the Historic Webster Walks were selected for their architectural or historic value and are identified in the guidebooks by the names of the people or businesses that originally occupied them.
​
The Webster Walks were established by the Webster Groves Historical Society and the City of Webster Groves.

Each of the seven Historic Webster Walks include an accompanying guidebook. Printed copies of the Webster Groves walking tours are available for free 24 hours a day at the City Hall Information Board in the parking lot on the east side of City Hall
(4 E Lockwood Ave).
