Inscription Rock, on the south shore of Kelleys Island, is marked with prehistoric Indian pictographs. The flat-topped limestone slab displays carvings of animals and human figures. Discovered partly buried in the shoreline in 1833, the 32-foot-by-21-foot rock is now entirely exposed. Much eroded by the elements, it is now protected by a roof and viewing platform. Archaeologists believe the inscriptions date from sometime between AD 1200 and 1600.

Lafayette Square is St. Louis's oldest historic district and was declared a National Historic District in 1979. The neighborhood surrounds a 30-acre Victorian park that is the oldest park west of the Mississippi River. The park serves as the hub for 375 Victorian homes of French Second Empire, Romanesque, Italianate, Queen Anne, and Federal designs. The Lafayette Square Restoration Committee has worked to restore over 90 percent of these homes to their original states.
The Committee sponsors several activities and programs throughout the year, including house and garden tours as well as a free concert series. The website offers historical information regarding the neighborhood, an events calendar, library access, and several photo galleries of the neighborhood.
