The Scott Joplin House State Historic Site is the historic place where Scott Joplin took residence from the year 1900 to 1903. Scott Joplin is a famous composer who became famous for his unique ragtime works. His most famous work is the ?Maple Leaf Rag?, which became the ragtime?s first biggest and most influential hit of all time, making it considered as the archetypal rag.

Located in St. Louis, Missouri, the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site features the home of the musician and an authentic player piano that plays Joplin?s melodies. It is furnished the way it was in 1902, while Joplin and his wife still took residence on the building. There?s also the Rosebud Caf?, which is a turn-of-the-century themed bar and gaming club on site.
