St. Charles Celebrates Bicentennial Anniversary
The Expedition Continues in St. Charles as the city celebrates the 200th anniversary of its 1809 incorporation as a village. Visitors to St. Charles will experience 200 events in 200 days, as the Bicentennial serves as the underlying theme for every event taking place in town this year.
Starting in March and running through the end of the year, visitors to St. Charles will be able to experience and celebrate the city’s rich heritage and history. Whether it’s a visit to the Lewis & Clark Boat House and Nature Center, the Foundry Art Centre or a shopping spree on historic Main Street, you’ll get the full flavor of the second oldest city west of the Mississippi River.
The city’s actual anniversary date — October 13 — will be preceded by a Cultural Heritage Festival based on a series of family-friendly parties, parades and concerts held in local area parks.
