Founders
Francois and Berenice Chouteau
Special | 4m 10sVideo has Closed Captions
Part I takes us the early 1800s when Francois and Berenice Chouteau expanded their family.
Today their names grace our highways, city districts and restaurants. But before Chouteau was a trafficway, it was the name of an immigrant couple who used their honeymoon to discover new land. Before McCoy’s was a good place to get a beer, it was a family of missionaries whose son would use his business savvy to build a popular outpost.
