The Western House was a well known hostelry in 1835, during the time of the great covered wagon treks into the west. This hotel housed a rougher group of people and had a large stable and wagon yard at the rear. The space used today for weddings and elegant parties. The stable has been torn down in later years." ~ St. Charles Bicentennial Heritage Trail - Daniel Boone District, Boys Scouts of America
