A very unique night at The Orris — this Saturday

A very unique night at The Orris — this Saturday, October 25. The Friends of Ste. Genevieve County Library present a one-of-a-kind Halloween experience: a seven-piece orchestra performing live alongside a screening of the iconic silent horror film Nosferatu. 🎻🎬

As you can tell by the photos, the scene is perfectly set for a charming little night out in the heart of spooky season.

As with all Orris shows, drinks will be available at the bar.

For four decades, Zielinski and Friends, a downtow

For four decades, Zielinski and Friends, a downtown Sainte Geneviève antique shop, has been a steady presence. Pam and Richard Zielinski have filled it with an ever-changing mix of antiques and curiosities, shaped by a lifelong interest in collecting and the spirit of maximalism.

🪦Memorial Cemetery, established in 1787, is the

🪦Memorial Cemetery, established in 1787, is the oldest cemetery in Sainte Geneviève, MO and the resting place of many of the town’s earliest residents.

Everyone within the early settlement was buried here regardless of background or status. Stone markers identify members of prominent families such as Valle, Janis, Bauvais, and Amoureux, while most graves were once marked with wooden crosses that have since disappeared. The site closed to new burials in 1881, except for Odile Valle in 1894. Today the cemetery is maintained by @historicstegen and remains open for visitors to explore.

There have been some great additions to the interpretation of the cemetery over the years with the Legends & Lore sign placed above the grave of Senator Lewis Linn and the Foundation for Restoration of Ste. Geneviève’s event, the Déjà Vu Spirit Reunion, happening this Saturday starting at 4:30 p.m.

We’ll say it until we’re blue in the face —

We’ll say it until we’re blue in the face — (not Vallé blue, of course) — this community epitomizes what’s special about visiting here.

Of course, the yearly Ste. Genevieve High School Homecoming Parade probably won’t make anyone’s itinerary, but it’s quite a cultural phenomenon.

There’s a few things at play.

For one, the setup is utterly charming. The floats take off from the school stadium parking lot, which is adjacent to downtown. They parade all through the historic district and make a big loop ending where they started. So, you get to see everything twice and end things by walking an easy few blocks to the stadium.

The second thing is you get to see this modern ritual — one that embodies how quickly time passes — played out against houses from a bygone colonial era. Just look in the background of this video.

Not to mention the names on the backs of jerseys and the last names of the homecoming court princesses draw a straight line to the first German settlers who arrived here 200 years ago or more.
The Roths. The Baslers. The Schwents. The Wehners.

It’s a slice of America all right — but the scope of the history involved, and the close community ties, really make it feel different.

It makes it feel special. ✨

🎄It’s time to save the date for the Holiday C

🎄It’s time to save the date for the Holiday Christmas Festival, December 6 and 7!

Most people know about the downtown parade, but not everyone realizes it’s also a music festival that fills our beautiful downtown churches — Catholic, Lutheran, and Presbyterian — with performances ranging from symphony and jazz to steel drum. A weekend that celebrates tradition, community, and the music of the season in historic Sainte Geneviève.
