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)

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.
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."
