First Missouri State Capitol SHS

This restored Federal Style rowhouse is where Missouri's first legislators met to reorganize the territorial government into a system of state government. Sessions were held at this site June 4, 1821-October 1, 1826, when the new Capitol in Jefferson City was readied for use. Highlights include governmental chambers, two residences, a dry goods store, and a carpenter shop, which have been restored to their appearance, circa 1820-30. A visitor center with exhibits and guided tours of the site are available. Located on Main Street in St Charles.
