St. Charles is a charming historic city located on the banks of the Missouri River. Originally a trading outpost for French Canadian fur traders, the city quickly grew into a thriving center of commerce in the 19th century, due in part to its convenient river-front location. Historic attractions are plenty, including many that reference Lewis and Clark, and Daniel Boone, who both have historic ties to the city. Museums include the Lewis & Clark Boathouse and Frenchtown Heritage Museum.
