First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site

First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site The OFFICIAL page for First Missouri State Captiol State Historic Site located in St. Charles, Mo.

Located within a stone’s throw of the Missouri River and Katy Trail State Park, and in the heart of historic St. Charles, First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site is the first seat of the state’s government. Its rough hewn timbers and dark wood floors whisper the tales of the state’s first legislature. Interpretive programs help visitors understand how the state’s government was formed and

what life was like in the early 1800s. The state park system is composed of 92 parks and historic sites managed by the Dept. of Natural Resources for the benefit of all Missourians.
