History

Jefferson County was organized December 8, 1818 when Missouri was still a territory. In those early days, the county’s settlers, who came from as far away as France, Germany, Canada and Ireland, lived without the conveniences of roads, stores, post offices, and blacksmith shops. None, however, lived without one gun and at least one dog, considered “indispensables.”

Memorial

In memory of our fallen comrades who made the ultimate sacrifice.
