The front gate sign to Forty Acre Club

Back in the early 1950s, a small group of St. Louis couples were looking for an out-of-the-way place to get together and enjoy the warm sun and fresh air on their skin. They found a 40-acre piece of land for sale in Franklin County and, on weekends, proceeded to carve out campsites and a common area on the flat hilltop.

74 Years later, the club has over 200 members, and we welcome hundreds of visitors annually.
