About the Business
Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park, located at 327 Saint Marys Road in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, is a historic institution that was established by 1750 as the first permanent European settlement in Missouri. The early French Canadian settlers were attracted to the area for its rich agricultural land known as Le Grand Champ (the Big Field). Following a flood in 1785, the town was relocated to its current location on higher ground approximately three miles northwest of its original site.

"Lots of really well preserved historic buildings and houses in a beautiful small town just east of the river. If you go to the welcome center in downtown they will give you a map of all the buildings and information about tour dates and times as well as other local tourist info."
"A lot of the park is currently being renovated, so couldnt go into some of the buildings. Loved the various architecture styles of the homes we went into. Had a great lunch at one of the diners. Very friendly folks. Highly recommend taking the 15 minute detour from the interstate."
"Great first stop to the historic Missouri town. To learn why it is significant and what it has to offer when visiting. Park staff are friendly and helpful."
"Great site off the path. Worth a trip. Great information and awesome stores and houses to walk through."
"The center can get you set up with a short tour of historic homes nearby. Allow some time to walk around the historic downtown. Restaurants, bars and shops."
