They also feature permanent exhibits on the beginning of the village and important people and events in village history. There are just as many things to see outside of the museum as there are inside (like the gas pumps just outside the entrance). There is also a gift shop and a room that can be used for special events. I highly recommend the St. Charles History Museum.

What it lacks in size, it makes up for in extremely high quality displays with very attractive panels that provide detailed stories and videos to supplement some of the items.

Though most of the information is in one room, it takes quite a while to read through everything which provides a great sense of important people and buildings throughout St. Charles' history.

I can honestly say that I've never encountered a fashion assistant/accessory expert who was less than stellar in this shop. This is my favorite accessory boutique and NO, I have no personal or vested interest in this shop. I just love grand and this shop is grand....a wonderful small business offering wonder!
