Presenter – Bill Naeger
Sainte Genevieve, the oldest permanent European settlement in Missouri, has
traditionally accepted its founding date as 1735, so in1935, the town planned and observed a grand bicentennial celebration. Included were a parade and an impressive historical pageant with over a thousand participants.
Bill Naeger brings us the photos, the memorabilia and the stories surrounding this major town commemoration!
You’ll see that Ste. Genevieve pulled out all the stops for its 200th anniversary–what can we come up with for the 300th?
This special presentation is sponsored by the City of Ste. Genevieve.
