"This small house was built by the men of the Marthasville Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Committee to commemorate the stops of the Lewis and Clark Expedition at Charrette Village May 25, 1804 and September 20, 1806. This French-style house is on the site of the village. The village in 1804 was the frontier of westward settlement on the Missouri River. It was still that when the men of the expedition made their joyous return to it in 1806."- Ralph Gregory, Historian.

In 1830, August F. Grabs came from Germany to Missouri, a follower of Gottfried Duden. His first trip to Missouri was to verify Duden's "Report" which promoted German emigration to Missouri. He settled here in 1834 where he aquired and repaired a log structure and built another 24ft. log house next to it with a full basement to be used as a general store. Later both structures received a second story framed addition and were weatherboarded. Old Grabs Pictures August Grabs served as Postmaster in Marthasville and was repeatedly elected justice of the peace. He died in 1865 and is buried in the Bryan Cemetery near Daniel and Rebecca Boone burial site. Please check with Parks Board for open hours.

Daniel Boone, born October 22, 1734, in Bucks County, PA, died in 1820 in Missouri. The original monument was commissioned by the Daughters of the American Revolution and dedicated in 1915. The site was selected by Daniel as a final resting place for he and his wife Rebecca, who died in 1813. The monument stands as a tribute to the old fighting Quaker. In 2008, nearly 100 years after the dedication, a vandal struck, completely destroying the bronze faceplate. Sadly it was cut up and sold for scrap, with the total loot valued at under $100.00. On July 25th, 2009, the D.A.R. rededicated the monument and installed a new faceplate made of black marble. Further improvements and restoration of this very historic site are underway, thanks to the Warren County Commission and Friends of Daniel Boone Burial Site in Missouri.
