🚴‍♂️ The gravel lives on.

A new chapter begins with the Missouri Outlaw Gravel Race, brought to life by Rockinator Racing—carrying forward the spirit of the beloved Trailnet Gravel Classic with fresh energy and the same wild roads beneath your tires.

Rolling hills, backcountry routes, and the kind of terrain that tests your legs and clears your mind—this is the ride that reminds you why gravel racing hits different.

It’s not just a race.
It’s a tradition evolving.

📍 Sainte Geneviève, Missouri

Come chase the dust.

🚀 How do you get someone to stay for drone footage

🚀 How do you get someone to stay for drone footage?
Pair it with the right song.

Because once it hits… you wait for the payoff.

And in a way, that’s what Sainte Geneviève does too.

We’ve been here a long time—Missouri’s oldest town, rooted in the earliest stretch of westward expansion. Long enough to learn a different pace. One that rises slowly, like the camera in this video.

When you find your way here, something shifts.
Time stretches. The noise softens. You start to see things with a little more distance, a little more clarity.

And maybe that’s what we’re all after—
a moment to step out of the rush and remember what actually matters.

Not everything has to be fought for all at once.
Not everything has to happen today.

Take it from a place that’s endured—
your effort will be rewarded.

Visit Sainte Geneviève.
There’s something special here.

🍕 Sirros is the kind of place you keep coming back

🍕 Sirros is the kind of place you keep coming back to.

Loaded pizzas, hearty pastas, stacked burgers, and a salad bar that’s become something of a local legend—it’s all here, and it’s all done right.

Easygoing, welcoming, and always satisfying, it’s the perfect stop whether you’re gathering with friends or just hungry for something good.

In Sainte Geneviève, this is comfort food with a loyal following.

🌿 Spring arrives gently in Sainte Geneviève. Light

🌿 Spring arrives gently in Sainte Geneviève.
Light stretches a little longer across the rooftops. Doors open. Paths reappear.

And this season, there’s more to step into than ever before.

For the first time, the Green Tree Tavern and Bauvais-Amoureux House welcome visitors for self-guided exploration—rooms once quietly kept now ready to be wandered at your own pace.

Just beyond, the Parallel Pasts walking tour invites you to see familiar streets in new ways—stories layered, perspectives shifting, history unfolding as you move through it.

And along the levee, a walk with National Park Service and Missouri Department of Conservation brings you to the edge of the Mississippi—where a rare, untouched bank of water still moves the way it always has.

🌸 It’s a season of opening.
Not just in the landscape—but in how you experience it.

There’s something new to discover here. And somehow, it feels like it’s always been waiting for you.

Some places sell souvenirs.Some places keep tradit

Some places sell souvenirs.Some places keep traditions alive.

In Sainte Geneviève, two remarkable workshops are doing exactly that.

At ASL Pewter, one of the few pewter foundries still operating in the United States, centuries-old molds and hand tools produce pieces that look like they stepped straight out of early America. Their work has appeared on the HBO series John Adams and today finds its way onto the tables of Michelin-starred restaurants.

Just down the road, Sassafras Creek Originals gathers the work of nationally recognized artisans, like those at ASL, that are featured in Early American Life’s Directory of Traditional American Crafts—alongside its own handcrafted pieces. The next door Cabin at Sassafras Creek, a vacation rental beloved by visitors, made its appearance in the first season of Restoration Road.

It’s proof that in Sainte Geneviève, craftsmanship isn’t just history.

At events like the King’s Ball, the Ste. Genevieve

At events like the King’s Ball, the Ste. Genevieve Milice helps turn history from backdrop into atmosphere.

They’ve served as the honor guard for our annual King’s Ball, adding texture and authenticity to many of our historic celebrations, the French Heritage Festival being a main one. Each spring and fall they host encampments to recreate daily life in Ste. Genevieve in the 1790s — giving visitors a chance to step into the rhythms, tools, and traditions of the French colonial era.

Their next spring encampment will be held April 11, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the Centre for French Colonial Life campus.

In this moment, you also see one of Ste. Genevieve’s most trusted local historians, Bob Mueller, escorting the 2025 Queen as she prepares to crown the new King and Queen — a role he has carried out for many years. Bob has long been one of the people this town turns to when it wants to understand its own past, whether that means family history, historic homes, or the deeper story of Ste. Genevieve itself.

Together, the Milice and Bob remind us that history here is not something sealed behind glass. It still lives in ritual, in costume, in memory, and in the people who keep showing up to carry it forward.

The Living in Ste. Geneviève House Tour, hosted by the Foundation for Restoration of Ste. Geneviève, is fast approaching—and it’s an adventure through the hidden corners of Missouri’s oldest town.

Climb into attic spaces where families once slept. Wander through moody drawing rooms. Duck into cavernous springs beneath old breweries. You may even meet a spirit or two from another time.

America’s 250th is on the horizon, and Sainte Gene

America’s 250th is on the horizon, and Sainte Geneviève is already bringing the story to life.

With the help of our historic partners, local historians Ron and Justine Rayfield have rallied an incredible cast of interpreters and craftspeople for the America 250 Festival, May 30–31. Visitors will meet renowned figures in the living history world—including George Washington interpreter Dan Shippey, Bernardo de Gálvez interpreter Dennis Carlos, Ryan Williams as Thomas Jefferson, the artisans of Samson Historical, and Ryan Kerr of Townsends—alongside historic regiments and encampments that recreate the world of the Mississippi Valley during the Revolutionary era.

Experience drum and fife in the streets, regimental drills, colonial food tastings, signing the declaration, and more hands-on history throughout the weekend as we commemorate the Battle of Fort San Carlos, the westernmost battle of the American Revolution, in partnership with Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park, Missouri State Historic Sites, and French Colonial America.

Saturday evening, step into the past at a Colonial Ball in the historic Jean Baptiste Vallé House yard. Guests can even dress the part with rentals from @ensembles_of_the_past and join the dancing under the summer sky.

A new exhibit at @stegenmuseumlc highlights the town’s 1935 Bicentennial celebration, recently introduced with a ribbon cutting.

Two hundred years after its founding, Sainte Geneviève marked the occasion in August 1935 with one of the largest celebrations in its history. A four-night historical pageant titled “Mother of the West” was staged August 19 through 22, drawing visitors from across the region and presenting scenes from the town’s French colonial beginnings.

The final evening was opened by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who addressed the crowd by telephone from the White House, bringing national attention to Missouri’s oldest European settlement.

With the Tricentennial approaching in 2035, the exhibit offers a thoughtful look at how the community once honored 200 years and how it may prepare to mark 300.

One of those nights. @midnightslip @talya_kay

Thank you to the businesses, musicians, volunteers, and guests who continue to make events like this possible in Sainte Geneviève.
