The building in which city hall is now located is the former Mueller's IGA store. Mr. Mueller was getting "up there" in age when I moved to the area, and his son-in-law, Mr. Fast was running most of the business. About 10 years ago Mueller's closed its doors. Leaving only the Economy grocery store in town. The city eventually purchased the building, remodeled it and moved in.

The town is still a peaceful, quiet country town. The main park on 5th street, hold flea markets, and in the summer they have "Movies In the Park". Where free movies are shown, modern fist run movies, not old stuff, popcorn and soda is free to all. It is a plan to keep kids from roaming the streets with nothing to do. Park Dept provides the movies, fire dept. the pop corn, and local business provide the soda. Neat idea.

"Wright City, Missouri, is located along Interstate 70, about 45 miles west of St. Louis. As part of the westernmost portion of the St. Louis Metropolitan Economic area, Wright City not only provides a country setting for housing, but a potential for economic growth that is attractive for those businesses seeking to cater to the needs of a residential community and facilities for light to heavy industrial businesses. Primarily single-family, with some multi-family housing, Wright City provides a peaceful, semi-rural area in which to live, yet is within an easy drive for the major sporting and cultural events of the St. Louis Area. A wide variety of homesites are available to serve almost any lifestyle.

"The City of Wright City was platted as a village in 1857 by Doctor Henry C. Wright on land granted to Dr. Wright in 1831 by the United States. The village was platted to take advantage of the new North Missouri Railroad which was constructed in 1857. Dr. Wright built his home about 1860 on land that sets now at the corner of South First Street and South Locust. In September, 1863 the Wright City Raid took place during the Civil War. The Baptist Church, Bryan’s Blacksmith Shop and Kennedy’s Saloon (all known to be places where Southern sympathizers congregated) was burned to the ground by Union Militia. The town of Wright City was incorporated in 1869 and became a fourth class city in 1941. Wright City, a thriving community doing business through the railroad, then with the advent of automobiles Highway 40 ran through the center of town bringing motorists and businesses catering to them. In the 1950’s Interstate 70 was constructed, bringing a whole new group of businesses. Today, Wright City is a growing community with the advantage of the railroad and interstate highway." ~ City of Wright City

To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
