St. Joseph's Academy
Girls cake
St. Joseph’s Academy was founded in 1840 by The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. This was the second all-girls Catholic high school established in St. Louis. In the mid 1830’s bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M., requested teachers from the Sisters of St. Joseph in Le Puy-en-Valle, France to come to St. Louis. Mother St. John Fontbonne sent eight sisters over from France. Some of the sisters came to teach the deaf while the others opened Mother Celestine’s School. Mother Celestine’s School started in a log cabin in 1836 but it could not hold the number of students wanting to attend the school. So, in 1840 the first wing of St. Joseph’s Academy was constructed.
The school has been remodeled and relocated several times due to the number of people wanting to enroll.

Sappington House Museum
Brick cake
The Sappington House was built in 1808 by slaves. It is the oldest brick house in the St. Louis area. The bricks were handmade on site and there are no nails holding the framework together, only wooden pegs.
It is currently furnished with items made before 1835 and is set up as if the Sappington Family still lived there today.
The Sappington Family were friends of Daniel Boone when he lived in Kentucky. They followed him here to St. Louis in 1804.
The last of the Sappington Family stayed in the house until 1877. It was bought by the city of Crestwood in 1961 after the last habitant of the home left.

Grant's Trail
Granted this cake is hard to find.
One of life's' great mysteries is, “Who is buried in Grants' Tomb?” Today that mystery is, “Where is Grants' Trail cake?”
I wonder if the people who made the 250 Cakes really want everybody to see all of the cakes. I've seen quite a few cakes behind doors and windows, in lobbies of certain inaccessible areas, behind gates, or places that have an admission fee. These are not really totally accessible to the public, for whatever reason I do not know.
I think the latest cake in this style of hard to see cakes is the one on Grants Trail at Clydesdale Park. In order to see the cake you have to go to the other end of the park to a special entrance to get on the trail, but to get to this trail you have to drive through a development down a cul-de-sac that has along the sides of the road by every house a sign that said no parking. You kind of get the idea of driving down this road that you are trespassing. The people in the housing development do not want you driving down the road and I can't really blame them, nobody enjoys strangers driving down their street parking in front of their house, but I want to see the cake.
In order to find this cake this cake if you didn't know the secret entrance to find in this cake and went to Clydesdale Park you would never find it unless you walked down the trail. Even with knowing the secret to finding this cake I ended up somewhere by a baseball field at the other end of Grants Trail.
At least I found this cake, there were times when I could not find the cake.

Mississippi River Greenway - Trailhead in Jefferson Barracks Park
Great Rivers Greenway continues along the Mississippi into Jefferson Barracks County Park. Manual counts were conducted to track the use of this trail. According to the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation it is estimated that this two mile section of trail is being used for more than 68,000 trips by walkers, runners, and cyclists.
The park is located on a scenic bluff overlooking the Mississippi River on the site of what once was a major U.S. Army installation. Established in 1826, it was the country’s first Infantry School of Practice and served as the primary training and gathering place for the Army of the West. Jefferson Barracks replaced Fort Belle Fontaine, the first U.S. Army installation west of the Mississippi River, which suffered from repeated flooding because of its location on the Missouri River.
Jefferson Barracks Park offers a mix of history, recreational facilities and natural features. Stone buildings from the post now serve as museums for permanent displays, special exhibits, as well as tours, classes and seminars.

Missouri Civil War Museum
A Cake divided can not stand.
If any state represents the War Between The States it is Missouri. During the war the state itself was bitterly divided. The Dred Scott Decision was past down right here in St Louis and our state gave title to The Missouri Compromise. Lincoln spent much time in the area and Grant lived here.
The Missouri Civil War Museum is a great place to start on a personal journey through one of darkest periods of our history. Every so often there is a Civil War reenactment at Jefferson Barracks and it is a good place to see period weapons in use and infantry drills preformed.

One of the best things that the nuns taught me was this prayer;
I still use it today. I hear it also works with his statue. Turn the statue towards wall and tell St Anthony he will be turned around when this missing object is found.
At the medical center that bears his name I am sure he has helped some find their health again, although turning around the statue in the front of the center is not necessary.

We set up a picnic lunch and was swarmed by pesky bees. There was even an apple core at the edge of our picnic area but they liked us, Diane, better. We lined up the bees we swatted them as a reminder to all other bees that they could end up like their friends if they got too close.

Barrettes Elementary School
Elementary cake
Barretts Elementary School opened its doors in 1895. It was the first school within the Parkway School District. It started off as a one-room brick schoolhouse.
There have been several updates to the building since then bringing it to its current state. The school was named after the popular train station, Barretts Station. The area around the school was sold to the Missouri Pacific Railroad by J.R. Barretts and his wife.
Guest blogger - Diane
There are times when I look at the picture that I am going to snap and I see how lucky I am. This happened to me at Barretts Elementary School. Seeing my grand children in some of these pictures shows me that there is hope for the future and the present is bearable. Playing the card game war, building a Lego house or watching Sponge Bob reminds me that younger generation is smarter and quicker than I am and that is the way it is supposed to be.
If my grandson can give me the definition of a balloon as an inflatable rubber device and spell every word correct right off the top his head, that leaves me in the dust. As the song says teach your parents well. The fresh face of the future is our most valuable resource care for it with love.

Harris-Stowe State University
Teachers cake
In 1857 St. Louis Public Schools established a normal school, to train high school graduates to be teachers, for white students; it was subsequently named Harris Teachers College, after William Torrey Harris.
In 1890, the St. Louis school system established Sumner Normal School to train black teachers. In 1929, its name was changed to Stowe Teachers College, after author Harriet Beecher Stowe.
In response to the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education mandated integration of public-school systems, Harris and Stowe Colleges were merged into one institution. At first it was called Harris Teachers College. At the request of alumni, Stowe was added and the school became Harris-Stowe College.
