Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis : A Veterans Day Special

[@GassersGhost]

I got to spend 5-6 months rehabbing and painting the old windows and sills inside the base. Such an honour. 1 Grant Dr, was unoccupied for remodeling at the time. I was the only person in the building but never felt alone. 👀 I will also be the 4th generation of my clan to rest there some day. (Legends are spoken about someone who may or may not have planted a Blues Stanley Cup puck by a certain stone) Good tour. Well done.

Thanks Jim! Your support helped me get to this point. I haven't forgotten you. I might work my way up from the Patch and Carondelet if I get time.

Thank you! I think I do vaguely remember that. I'm going to ask some other people now that you say that to see if they can jog my memory a bit more.

I was so annoyed when I came all the way to Jefferson Barracks and all the museums were closed, although it was in operating hours! Spent 4 hours driving to the closed museums. But the cemetery was beautiful

[@organstl]

Aww that's a shame. That's a sad story but thanks for sharing that. I'm glad you found the video and I could share some of it with you this way. I hope you liked it. Thanks for commenting- I really appreciate it.

There is no such thing as Saint Louis County.Sajnt Louis is not in a county just like Kansas City Missouri is not in a county,but,East Saint Louis,Illinois is in a county and Kansas City,Kansas is in a county. And by the way,Ferguson Missouri is not Saint Louis!

[@organstl]

Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it.

[@GassersGhost]

Actually, St. Louis County does exist. St. Louis CITY is not a part of that county. Ferguson is a part of that county.

[@GassersGhost]

St. Louis County is located in eastern Missouri. It is bounded by the City of St. Louis and the Mississippi River to the east, the Missouri River to the north, and the Meramec River to the south. At the 2020 census, the total population was 1,004,125, making it the most populous county in Missouri.
