Look at the view! And watch the town sparkle like

Look at the view! And watch the town sparkle like rhinestones. Ste. Genevieve’s beauty and feel have been likened to villages in Europe. That encapsulates the romance you feel driving in, but, nothing quite can describe the feeling you get walking the streets at night. It’s peaceful. It’s safe. It stretches your perspective on what America is all about.

Here, it’s about preserving the things worth living for. We’ve kept our downtown alive. We’ve kept our Catholic faith strong. We’ve made the streets more walkable. We’ve continued to find ways to conserve the historic houses that make our story so interesting.

The French Heritage Festival, hosted by @historics

The French Heritage Festival, hosted by @historicstegen is almost a month away and this year we are putting more thought and planning into making it the best it’s been in years. We’ve got more buy-in from our historic site and educational partners than we’ve had, and we’re making plans for growing this festival in the future.

While this has been traditionally more of an insular locals celebration, we see the potential for it to become a way to bring in a larger community of people trying to preserve French heritage across the United States. This year, we’ve invited those folks and we’re hoping they get a chance to mingle with locals who are passionate about the traditions we keep.

@braienshokinss will be here showing his film based on Paw Paw French folktales that would have been told in Ste. Gen. If you haven’t seen Hawkins work in the past, you’re in for a treat.

Ste. Genevieve Catholic Church is one of the most

Ste. Genevieve Catholic Church is one of the most enduring landmarks in Missouri’s oldest town, Ste. Genevieve. The parish was founded in 1759 by Jesuit missionaries from Quebec and named for Ste. Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. The current Gothic Revival church was designed by Fr. Francis Xavier Weiss and built over earlier log and stone churches. Its cornerstone was laid in 1876, and it was consecrated in 1880. For generations, the church has stood through flood, war, and change, occupying the same ground since the 18th century.

According to local tradition, when the current brick church was constructed in the 1870s, it was built around the original wooden church. Once the new structure was complete, the old church was carefully dismantled and its pieces carried out through the front doors. The baptismal bowl used today is believed to be the same one from the mid-1700s, used to baptize generations of parishioners over the centuries.

Sara Gonzalez of @ensembles_of_the_past will be pr

Sara Gonzalez of @ensembles_of_the_past will be providing gown and period clothing rental for this year’s French Heritage Festival on June 14th. She’s even made a distinct page on her website to offer special rates for rentals.

Sara hand-makes most of the clothing herself. She’s a hard worker and treats this hobby-turned-passion-business with the utmost attention to detail. She’ll be set up from 11am - 8pm at the LeMeilleur House with her rentals the Friday before the festival.

We’re really looking forward to making her a yearly staple at the French Heritage Festival.

The Orris | Learning Center Presents The Mysterious Life and Death of
Meriwether Lewis
- During the Lewis and Clark Expedition on May 23, 1804, Meriwether Lewis was climbing the pinnacles of Tavern Rock, a cliff near St. Charles, Missouri, when he slipped. He was able to grab onto the cliff with his knife and stop his fall, preventing a potentially dangerous descent. The incident occurred near a cave called Tavern Cave, where Clark added his name to the graffiti left by earlier travelers. Hear more tales of this explorer, soldier, politician!
- This presentation is sponsored by Dwayne Doza Auto Body & Sales.

One of our downtown’s landmark businesses, Sara’s Ice Cream, reopened under new ownership on April 1. The Monia family bought the business, invested in renovations, and restored the vintage decor that made Sara’s one of the cutest retro experiences in Ste. Gen.

It’s such a testament to what makes Ste. Gen so special, that new investors recognize what’s wonderful about what we have and only hope to improve upon it. That’s just what the Monias hope to do by keeping Sara’s open year-round, diversifying its offerings by adding smoothies and coffee, and expanding its hours of operation.

We wish the Monias all the luck in the world and we’re happy they’re now a part of our downtown ranks!

Come to the French Heritage Festival, June 14th in

Come to the French Heritage Festival, June 14th in Ste. Genevieve, MO and see a small town that’s big on preserving its French culture. We celebrate our French traditions and customs through language, music, food, dance and dressing in the French colonial style.

This year, we’re adding a ticketed Bridgerton-esque dance called the Frontier French Dance, where everyone is invited to dress in colonial garb and learn English country dance and slow waltzing. More information and tickets are available at https://www.historicstegen.org

For those of you who’d love to dress up, @ensembles_of_the_past is offering rentals for the event. You can rent directly from her site, and she will set up the Friday before the festival for try-ons and rental pick-up. https://www.ensemblesofthepast.com/french-heritage-festival

There will be live music all day, headlined by Dennis Stroughmatt et L’Esprit Creole, a vintage Parisian market, food vendors, drinks, yard games, historic reenactors and demonstrators, children’s activities, and more.

So, come on out and take a step out of time at this year’s French Heritage Festival, where history and heritage come alive.

The StG Gravel Classic brought cyclists from acros

The StG Gravel Classic brought cyclists from across the region to ride Ste. Genevieve’s levees and gravel backroads. Riders chose between 20, 45, or 78 mile routes with less than 10% on paved roads. The event marks another part of what makes Ste. Gen so special in its ability to trend toward becoming a great hub for outdoor activity. Not only are there 77 miles of rideable gravel to the south, but there’s equal amounts of smooth blacktop headed north. Trails that lead to beautiful, unobstructed views of the Mississippi River. Events like these expose a different demographic than we’re used to, but it’s one that we believe shares the same values that have made us special, historically speaking.

It looks like the Ste. Genevieve Spring Trade Fair

It looks like the Ste. Genevieve Spring Trade Faire will, in fact, transition into the Ste. Genevieve Fall Trade Faire as plans have been set for September 13th. Word is the trade faire will activate the entire French Colonial America campus creating a walking tour that will encompass history between 1780-1820. Another whole camp will showcase Native American Voyageurs. It should be quite the spectacle and will move Ste. Gen closer to becoming an amazing place to not only view history, but be immersed in it.

This past weekend, the Louis Bolduc yard in Ste. Genevieve hosted the Les Amis du Fort de Chartres Market Faire in partnership with the Ste. Genevieve Militia’s Spring Milice encampment. The yard came alive with 18th-century reenactors, traditional artisans, and period demonstrations, offering a unique look at our region’s colonial past. Plans are in the works to make the Market Faire an annual event beginning this September, with more details to come.

The Orris | Remembering the Flood of ‘93
- In 1993, Ste. Genevieve, MO experienced a record-breaking flood. From July 1,1993 until August 6, 1993 the Mississippi River crest rose until it reached a maximum height of 49.74 feet. During that summer Ste. Genevieve experienced a natural disaster that cost the community millions of dollars in damages but, through the coordinated efforts of local, state and federal agencies and the assistance of tens of thousands of volunteers every life was preserved. Relive that awe-inspiring summer with the people who were front and center in keeping the flood waters at bay and documenting the river’s historic rise. This presentation is free to museum members, otherwise, regular admission applies.

We want to take the time to congratulate the Frien

We want to take the time to congratulate the Friends of Ste. Genevieve Fire District on their big win in the polls on Tuesday! We try our best to promote Ste. Genevieve to a broader audience and maybe our best asset for doing so is the strength of this community. Just look at the “Touch-A-Truck” event they were able to put on in support of something that keeps this community one of the safest, most supportive, and family-oriented communities in all of the United States 🇺🇸. We’re all very proud to call this place home and we’re looking forward to not only keeping the great services we have, but expanding them so future generations can make this an even better place to live!

We are so lucky to have Justine and Ronnie Rayfiel

We are so lucky to have Justine and Ronnie Rayfield (our two local celebrities) as part of our rich community. Not only do they stay busy broadcasting living history to a massive audience around the world on their Early American YouTube channel, but they’re always available for demonstrations around town. And, boy, do they bring the heat…enough to bake a loaf of bread.

Here, @justineybeanie brings baking bread in the late 1700s to life with this recipe she frequently uses in a cookbook from Kaskaskia (a small island in the Mississippi River just a few miles south of Ste. Gen) that dates to the 1790s. Steph from @explorestlparks - and her four daughters-got to taste the spoils of the day.
