Grant's Farm

The farm is home to such animals as buffalo, emus, camels, macaws, donkeys, goats, peacocks, the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales among others.

Colonel Frederick Dent, Julia's father, gave 80 acres of the farm to the couple as a wedding present on what today is Rock Hill Road.

[2] In November 2015, the Saint Louis Zoo agreed to purchase Grant's Farm from six heirs of the beer baron, August A.

The deal required a city judge to back four of the Busch heirs in order to release the land from a trust.

Area residents would also have to approve $8.5 million in added taxes to support yearly park operational costs.

[3] In March 2016, the Saint Louis Zoo Association withdrew its offer to buy Grant's Farm, citing the family's disagreement as one of the primary reasons.
