The County Heritage Museum at Heritage Park offers FREE interpretive displays focusing on local and state history and is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wed. through Sat., and noon to 5 p.m., on Sun. Rich in St. Charles County history, the nearly 6,000-square foot facility, located on a site known to many as Kuhlmann's Grove, was a popular recreation area for county residents for nearly a hundred years. The Museum is designed to house large exhibit displays, which will be changed out yearly. The current transportation display, On the Moveā¦A History of Transportation in St. Charles County, features rivers, rails and roads. The new exhibit showcases several interactive components, including touchscreen maps, a model bridge building area, and a steamboat pilot house that simulates the experience of navigating a vessel up the Missouri River. Other areas of the Museum feature displays about the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroads and the bridges of past and present in St. Charles County.
The museum has a classroom that is capable of accommodating 24-32 individuals depending on table usage. This room has a SmartBoard equipped with enhanced audio and video capabilities. There is no charge to reserve the meeting room. It is only available for reservations during regular museum operating hours.
