This house was Eugene's boyhood home, and during their residence here his father Roswell M. Field served as the Attorney who took Dred Scott's freedom suit into the Federal Courts, leading to the infamous Supreme Court decision in Scott v. Sandford.
The House is owned and operated as a museum by the Eugene Field House Foundation, a charitable organization.
We are proud to be a member of the Blue Star Museums project, welcoming members of the U. S. military and their families to our museum at no charge from Memorial Day through Labor Day, 2011.
