In April 2019, local historian Bob Mueller and local business owner Lawrence Myers, who is also an architect, provided plans for a bicentennial plaza for the Market Street edge of the property, complete with a memorial to John Scott, Missouri’s first congressman, and landscaping with a grassy area, a bench and various plants. The plants would include hicks yews, European hornbeam and Johnson crabapple.

Scott Schmieder, Ste. Genevieve County roads and bridge foreman, was proactive in dealing with the two-to-three inches of snow that struck the county the night of Jan. 26 (Tuesday night) and during the day, Jan. 27.
On Tuesday, Schmieder pulled road crews off of other jobs and had them begin salting and preparing county roads for bad weather.
“You made a good decision,” Presiding Commissioner Garry Nelson told him at last Thursday’s County Commission meeting. “You were prepared for the snow.”
Schmieder said the preparation and the plowing that came later, went without major incident.
