Link to "Lost St. Charles" The history of every community is written in many places—documents, images, the built environment, and the past lives of its people. That history includes buildings no longer standing but still tells the stories of the people who lived or worked there and their times. This website is about those stories in “Lost St. Charles.” Lost St. Charles (arcgis.com)
Recent Research Success Testimonial:
"Hello, Amy:
I would like to sincerely thank you and Joan Koechig for allowing me to go through Andrew McColloch’s files regarding the St. Charles County Airport. This information is exactly what I have been looking for in trying to better establish a timeline of how the St. Charles County Airport came to be. The amount of information is incredible and, even though I haven’t had a chance to go through all of it yet, what I have seen is fascinating and will definitely help me to track the development of the airport.
The 1942 survey blueprints of the airport grounds are priceless! I have always heard there were various buildings and infrastructure on the grounds but never knew their exact location or exactly what the improvements were, but we now have a much better idea of what the U.S. Government put in place during World War II. This information will also be very helpful as we go through our Airport Master Plan Update which is currently in progress as we need to show all property transfers, avigation easements, quit-claim deeds, etc. to reflect all of the airport’s grounds.
I am so glad that this information came to light and did not sit on a shelf unnoticed.
Again, many, many thanks and best wishes to you and Joan."
Sincerely,
Dennis Wiss,A.A.E., ACE
