Frenchtown Heritage Museum

Frenchtown is part of St. Charles City and was founded as an area of settlement in the early 1800s. French citizens moved out of St. Charles' central core and created their own neighborhood away from the influx of immigrants from the East. By the mid-1800s, German families had moved into Frenchtown and intermarried into many of the founding families, creating a thriving business district and neighborhood. By the beginning of the 20th century, Frenchtown was home to successful milling companies, industrial factories, the American Car and Foundry, Borromeo Catholic Church, the Academy of the Sacred Heart, a stop on the Wabash Railroad, and many influential St. Charles families.

Frenchtown is one of two historic districts in St. Charles, the other being Main Street. We are at the north end of Second Street. Today,the Frenchtown district is home to nine antique stores, the Katy Trail, and Dusable Park.
