The Governor’s Estate Thornhill, the remarkable estate home of Frederick Bates and his family, is located in Faust County Park in Chesterfield, Missouri. Bates arrived in Missouri from Virginia in 1807 after being appointed Territorial Secretary, Recorder of Land Titles and a member of the Board of Land Commissioners in the new Louisiana Territory. In these posts, Bates greatly influenced the pattern of land settlement in the newly acquired territory. In 1824, Bates was sworn in as second governor of Missouri. He died the following year of a lung disease. Faust County Park currently offers guided tours of historic buildings from the estate. Many festivals and events, such as historical re-enactments, provide residents and tourists a glimpse of the past.
