One of my favorite places to visit, is a town that is only a few miles away from me. It is historic St. Charles Mo. It has a very vibrant Main Street that attracts visitors all year long. I have written about this area several times in the past and I will include those links later in this article. Today I want to review with you some of the photographs I took on a beautiful fall day in October 2022. First of all, here is a photo I took telling a little bit about the history of the area.
Main Street in the Fall
Main street is a wonderful area with cobblestone streets and sidewalks and lots of delightful little shops and restaurants. In the fall the shopkeepers do a wonderful job of decorating for the season. We saw lots of pumpkin displays, colorful leaves and some very imaginative displays. Here are a couple of the photos I took on Main Street.
Halloween Decorations and Activities
Halloween is a fun time on Main Street. There are a variety of activities for all ages and the shopkeepers have some wonderful displays for the holiday.
You can click on the QR code in the above photo to find out about the Legends & Lanterns tours that take place on Main Street.
These fun characters are motion activated and you can hear them talk and sing when you pass by. Below you see some of the decorations around the gazebo, which is a gathering place in the middle of Main Street.
The Riverfront Area
A block down from Main Street is the Missouri river. This area has a wonderful park that provides some great trails and walks along the river. There is an old train station, and you can see some train cars on the tracks.
There is a lot of history that took place in this area including a departure spot for Lewis & Clark.
