Wow, has it been this many days since the last post of Ste. Genevieve. These are the flood gates and after passing through them we were driving downhill to the river.
Coming back from the river we saw this sign in the wooded area; possibly helpful to orient any lost souls disembarking from the ferry.
This drawing is in Missouri state archives. Ste Genevieve may have looked like this in 1735. The settlement was later moved about a mile away from the river due to flooding. A few of these original structures have survived to present times.
Old houses; Narrow streets
The first brick house to be built west of the Mississippi River.always thankful for safe travels.....
