In a nutshell
Nice place to spend a day enjoying history and shopping.
Antiques, restaurants, shops & more!
807Wheaton Says: We enjoyed ambling down the brick paved streets in St. Charles. One street over, Riverside Drive follows the Missouri River. This is a unique town and very, very pleasant. There are many Cottages housing Colonial Furniture, Home Decor & Gardening items.We ate lunch at Lewis...
See the Frontier Park & Katy Depot along the river
807Wheaton Says: There is plenty of parking along Riverside Drive the street that lines the Missouri River. This is a good place for a stroll through the Frontier Park to see the Katy Depot and the Lewis & Clark Statue.
Visit Lewis & Clark Boathouse and Nature Center
807Wheaton Says: The exhibits in this museum gave us a sample of the exciting expedition of Lewis & Clark and the Corps of Discovery. Our tour included a good 15 minute movie. We also saw a display about St. Charles, the oldest city along the Missouri River. Four model buildings show...
The Largest Historic District in Missouri
deecat Says: I've never been in another town that had such a LONG main street (10 blocks); I've never been in another town with so many restored houses and buildings (88 restored buildings dating from 1790 to the late 1800s.)I've never been in another town that had so many QUALITY craft...

Lewis & Clark's An American Restaurant & Pubdon't: Don't Miss This Fine Restaurant!
LJSKATS Says: http://www.diningstl.com/STCharles.htmGreat food at affordable prices! Also look for their sister restaurant Trailhead Brewing Co. located just down the street on Main at Boonslick. The while chili is delicious! But that is only one item...everything is delicious and the...
Garden Cafe a la Fleur: Lovely place for "Al Fresco"
yooperprof Says: Lovely place for a pleasant light lunch on a spring day - with indoor seating for those thunderstormy days as well. Attentive and cheerful service - I had ice tea, and the server did excellent duty in keeping my glass full! Right on S. Main Street in the historic center.
Lewis & Clark's American Restaurant: Try the Spicy Creole Gumbo
807Wheaton Says: We had the Spicy Creole Gumbo with a House Salad. The Gumbo was spicy and good.This combo came with some hot bread. My cousin who took us to this place had the French Dip, a sandwich with sliced prime rib and cheese. All of this was very good. Our server was attentive and...
River City Coffee & Tea: Coffee on Main Street
yooperprof Says: A popular place for visitors to St. Charles, this coffee shop also seems to attract many bicyclists who need a "jolt of joe" before setting out to pedal the KATY trail.

We went gambling at the 'riverboat' Station casino. Time flies in this place. It was our first time to gamble.

The Garage on Main Street: Cool Diecast Model cars, like on TV
billalbright Says: I have been in this store a bunch of times. They have a ton of the 1/18 scale diecast model cars. The first two I bought were the Dukes of Hazzard General Lee and the KNight Rider Kitt car. All of their car models are very detailed and very close to the real thing only...
Olde Towne Spice Shoppe: For Hard to Find Spices That Are Fresh, Go To...
deecat Says: What a delightful store Olde Towne Spice Shoppe is. They specialize in all kinds of spices, and the auroma permeates the establishment. We saw spices in this store that I had to ask the saleswoman what they were.John & Pat Urbanowicz are the shop Keepers.Open:Mon.-Sat....
Helpfulness
This is certainly not what I expect to find in a nature center. The displays are made of plastic, the animals are plastic or stuffed, and there's not a living thing in sight. This a private museum created by local enthusiasts, but it falls short of professional standards of curatorship. References to Native Americans are slighting; background information about pre-Columbian America is lacking. If you are interested in Lewis & Clark history, you'd be much better off going to the St. Louis Historical Society in Forest Park, or crossing the Mississippi into Illinois to visit Camp River Dubois near Alton.

St. Joseph Health Center - medical building
yooperprof Says: This faceless soul-less structure is just a block away from historic Main Street, and across the street from the historic St. Charles County Courthouse. Even the County Jail has windows!
What a Classy Town Saint Charles Is!
deecat Says: We knew that Saint Charles was a wonderful town filled with quaint shops, good restaurants, historic buildings, brick streets, gas lamps, and unique museums. But, we had never seen such a beautiful elevated Gazebo with steps leading to it and surrounded by black wrought iron...
yooperprof Says: I miss cabooses.The word caboose is from Middle Dutch, _kabuys_, meaning cabin house or ship's galley.
yooperprof Says: Some interesting exhibits here about the history of the railroads in St. Charles County. It's very appropriate that this is one of the major "trailheads" for the KATY trail - one of America's most successful "rail-to-trail" projects, stretching almost 200 miles across...
yooperprof Says: As the Missouri River approaches its merger with the Mississippi, it takes a final "big bend" about 20 miles west of St. Louis. As it passes St. Charles, it is actually flowing northward.
