If anyone would like to visit the Kaes House in Castlewood State Park the directions are below. You will need comfortable walking shoes & flashlights. Directions to Kaes house from Manchester Rd.: Turn south onto New Ballwin Rd. Take it to Kiefer Creek Rd. Turn right onto Kiefer Creek Rd. Go to St. Paul Rd. Turn left onto St. Paul Rd. Stay on St. Paul Rd till you get to the rail road tracks. Do NOT cross the tracks - if you do you've gone too far. Turn left onto the gravel road that runs parallel with the tracks ~ this is called Jedburg Lane but I can't remember if there is a sign for it. Keep going till you come to two houses. You'll know which one is the correct house when you see it. There is a brick house & just a few hundred yards up & to the left of it is the Kaes house. You will have to park here & do the rest on foot. Walk east through the front yard of the home & you will see the stone wall of the spring house on the left at the base of the hill. This is the entrance to the cave. There are bushes in front of it - just walk through the middle of them & through the doorway & you are in the cave. There are two rooms in the cave. You will need some flashlights. J! ust east of the cave are the corn cribs. The house looks run down but it is still salvageable. It is boarded up & locked but there are peep holes in the window boards. so you can see inside many of the lower floor rooms. You can also go to Mapquest & type in Jedburg Road, Sherman Mo. then click on the red star in the center of map several times to bring it in close. http://www.mapquest.com/ Historic Landmark Home Endangered http://carrollscorner.net/SitesSt.LouisCo._Sherman.htm Petition For Preservation of Kaes House http://carrollscorner.net/KAES_HOUSE_PETITION.htm
