Kimmswick, historic charm on the Mississippi River since 1859

THANK YOU FROM KIMMSWICK

 

The City of Kimmswick Mo. would like to THANK all the volunteers and businesses that helped in any way on the dates of June 2nd, 3rd and 4th to save our Historic town from the rising flood waters.

Our Emergency Management Director Gary Paszkiewicz made the call for help and it was answered by many tireless volunteers.  From sandbagger's and pump watchers to donations of food, drink, ice etc. Each gesture large or small was so appreciated by the residents and merchants of this small town.

The City of Kimmswick would like to show their gratitude by hosting a THANK YOU party for all of the volunteers.

The event is planned at the Kimmswick City Park on June 29th from 1pm to 6pm.

Please bring lawn chairs, drink and food will be provided.

Sincerely,

The Honorable Mayor Pat Reno,

The Board of Aldermen and Emergency Management Director

Anheuser Museum & Estate Tours
The Anheuser Museum and Estate in Kimmswick, Missouri is open every Thursday, from April through November from noon to 4:00pm. (Admission fee is $5.00) The museum is housed in the ancestral home of Fred and Mabel Ruth Anheuser, located in Kimmswick, just 25 miles south of downtown St. Louis. The home, built in 1867, sits at the south end of the town by the Mississippi River at Water's Point.
*** Saturday tours:  Due to the wonderful success of our renting the Estate we are sorry that we will only be able to offer Saturday tours by appointment only. 636-464-7407

The Anheuser family bought the estate in 1916 and used it as a summerhouse until 1945 when Mabel-Ruth and her husband, the late Frederick Straub Anheuser moved there. The Anheuser collection includes family heirlooms, antiques, portraits, and a family library. Accenting the collection are Mrs. Anheuser's Westward Ho Crystal collection and a pair of 1904 hand-carved World's Fair beds. The grounds feature splendid views of the river and Bald Eagles are often spotted
soaring above the river bluffs.
