Before $10 million Colonial-style brick homes, 70-foot oak trees shading promenades, top private schools and six private clubs, there were immigrant farmers and shacks in what is today one of the nation’s wealthiest communities. Why did millionaires move to Ladue?
The documented history of Ladue not only tells the story of the city’s transformation from a rural to regal locale, but also features stories of charming characters including a Madame, bands of Gypsies, Peter A. Ladue and notorious residents whose names grace the community’s streets.
Proceeds from the sale of Ladue Found will allow the Bry Family Scholarship Fund to provide scholarship funds for students at Ladue Horton Watkins High School to attend college.
