The Belvidere is a unique three story Victorian mansion. It was built in 1907 just before statehood. The house is brick with a tile roof and has four towers, one on each corner. A portico on the north side provided cover for the guest carriages as they arrived for gala parties. A large porch covers the front entrance with matching balcony directly above. Much of the trim and woodwork used in the mansion were brought from the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis.

A wide entry L-shaped hall meets the carriage entrance to form a gathering place. The floor is covered in tile laid by a man from Italy. The walls are wainscoted marble and pressed-tin. Sliding pocket doors and fireplaces accent several rooms.

The Mansion is furnished in period furnishings and is open for tours from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. January, February, and March hours are from 10 am to 4 pm Wednesday through Saturday.
