Ste. Genevieve is the oldest permanent European town in Missouri. We are especially known for our vertical log architecture, with over 30 buildings still standing built from about 1790 to 1820. This town existed at the time Lewis and Clark made their way north from the Ohio River. They even mentioned in a journal that they passed by and stopped on an island just north of town. Dozens of historic sites, shops, restaurants, and places to stay are all part of the city’s history with the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail.
