Maplewood is a historic home located in Columbia, Missouri, United States. It was built by Slater Ensor Lenoir and his wife Margaret Bradford Lenoir in 1877. It is a two-story, Italianate style brick dwelling. [2] [3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. [1]

In 1970, the City of Columbia purchased the home and 60 acres (240,000 m2) of surrounding land. This became the Frank G. Nifong Memorial Park. [2] Today, the home is operated jointly by the Boone County Historical Society and the City of Columbia Parks and Recreation. [2]

Things to do near the building include the annual Heritage Festival in September and the Maplewood Barn Theatre productions all year round.
