History
Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial
Honor those who have served our country at Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial, located in nearby Perryville. It features a full-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Welcome Center provides additional information about the grounds and the foundation’s mission.
Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park
The park highlights the French Colonial history of the area and preserve its early French architecture. Only five poteaux-en-terre (post in ground) French houses still exist in North America, and having three of them in one location is the leading reason for this national park. Ste. Genevieve is home to the Beauvais-Amoureax House, the Bequette-Ribault House and the Vital St. Gemme Beauvais House.
