==Points of Interest==
Chesterfield has four sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Probably the most prominent of these is Thornhill, a Federal-style mansion dating to the mid-1810s that was the home of [[Frederick Bates]], Missouri's second governor (1824-25), and which is now located within Faust Park. Another is the Farmer's State Bank of Chesterfield, completed circa 1914, with a unique pressed-metal facade; it is believed to be the city's oldest standing commercial structure and the only surviving rural bank building in St. Louis County.
