Absolutely loved this video! The slow-motion shots were mesmerizing, and it was so heartwarming to see everyone waving. Marsha's explanations were on point, making this my top pick on this channel. Keep up the fantastic content! It's truly amazing that you are preserving the history of this beautiful place. 😅❤️
I didn't know America had such peaceful yet lively spots! I loved watching this video, the Heritage Museum is awesome! it really made me feel that I'm welcomed in Frenchtown, and the people look so lovely. Will definitely visit in the future!
Ghosts of St. Charles? Lol, I'm all ears for spooky tales! 👻 And in the UK, we've got The Woman in White haunting Corfe Castle's bridge! Spooky specters, gotta love 'em!!! 😃
My 5th-great-granduncle was Antoine Janis of the infamous local story of how his slave girlfriend was loaned out to our cousin Madam Marie Louise Duquette and Francis Duquette and he bought her freedom, married her, had kids and lived where Sacred Heart Church now stands. He was a big part of the original Borommeo Church in the 1790s and there was even a park named after him near Cul De Sac near the river but it has been decommissioned. He was also one of the original land owners in St. Peters that included what is now Interstate-70 from near Mid Rivers westward to where Dardenne Creek flows under the highway near Salt Lick Rd/ Route-79 (exit-220). He had a grandson named Joseph Antoine Janis who has a book written about him called The June Rise and it details his life from St. Charles, Mo to founding LaPorte, Colorado and being an interpreter for the Ft. Laramie Treaty of 1867 and married into the family if Lakota Sioux Chief Red Cloud' s family on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Do you have any info on why there was a park in St. Charles named after Antoine Janis ? I had other 5th-great-aunts n uncles from the Janis family who lived in Frenchtown in the 1700s but I have yet to look up the deeds and where exactly they lived. But I would also like to know if you have any info on uncle Antoine at your museum ? My mom and I plan to visit soon.
