April 26, 2023 quarterly meeting
The Sappington-Concord Historical Society (SCHS) quarterly meeting is Wednesday, April 26, at 6:30 p.m. in the Cafeteria at Lindbergh High School, 5000 S. Lindbergh Blvd. The cafeteria has lots of space and everyone will be able to spread out.
After a brief business meeting, Elizabeth Terry, author of Oysters to Angus: Three Generations of the St. Louis Faust Family, will present the program. Patriarch Tony Faust lived lavishly in St. Louis, while rebelling against those who wished to shut down his saloon. Tony’s son Edward shunned his German-American heritage, but Tony’s grandson Leicester built his farm in rural St. Louis County. That land became his legacy, Faust Park. Elizabeth will also talk about the family relationship with the iconic Busch family.
Looking forward to seeing you Wednesday evening. Guests are welcome.
