St. Louis MO may be known as the Gateway to the West BUT.......

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Chesterfield

Did you know that just about 20 miles to the west and across the Missouri River and over the Blanchette Bridge there is the city of St Charles MO.  This is a wonderful city with some deep historical roots that reach back to the forging of the United States.

 First State Capital

Just follow the cobblestones of Main St. past local shops and restaurants to the site of the first state capital of Missouri.  From 1821 to 1826 St Charles served as the capital of Missouri. 

 Lewis and clark statue

St Charles is also known as the launching point of Lewis and Clark's expedition to the Pacific and as the home of Daniel Boone.

 St Charles Train Station

St. Charles has been careful to preserve its historic districts and is committed to honoring its frontier roots.  When visiting our fair city of St Charles you will feel as though you have stepped back in time.  So come for a vacation and enjoy the history and the feel of days gone by, there is always something going on.

Don - never realized Boone moved to Missouri, certainly is never mentioned in Kentucky where every other piece of land seems to have something to do with Boone. You have a great looking town there.

Mike,

I am starting to think that Daniel Boone moved around more than I have before settling down.
