Very nice vidéo ! On the wall of the interior of the Bolduc house ( 1 minute 58 ) ; there is an old provencal 'furniture for bread' , or panetière used in Provence during the XVIII century to protect bread against mice; It was generaly put on a table, but now in many museums it is hanged on a wall !
And Northern Maine, which is where I spent most of my early childhood. There are towns like this in Upper Michigan too apparently. Plenty of Midwestern towns were settled by New Englanders and French Canadians way back when.
My Native/french ancestors lived there..the Bequette/Boyer families, then went on to Old Mines Missouri. I'm almost 1/4 native and proud to be a part of that country's history...
My fam is like “famous” kinda because our family the BOYERS are known for sports my dad was the best football player I play softball basketball wrestle so we are known for sports🙂🙂🙂
I thought St. Joachim Catholic Church has always been known as the oldest church west of the Mississippi River. I agree Old Mines/Canon Mines are older than Ste. Genevieve!
That opening diorama was done by Lewis Pruneau. My dad and Lewis used to sit up all night working on models, chain smoking, cussing real loud and watching WWII VHS tapes. Those were the days.
Have many french/native american ancestors that settled in Kaskaskia St.Genevive, and Old mines my direct lineage (Deguire) Deguire Dit Larose were some of the first founders of St. Genevieve. Such a rich part of history,
Great video! In my social studies class I was assined St. Genevieve and this video was linked by my social studies teacher. This is a very informational video! You earned a new subscriber! Also, at 2:23 does that path look like a ghost on the bottom of the screen? Or am I crazy.
I am from Old Mines we moved to New Orleans when I was a young girl. My great grandmothers maiden name was juliette and then she married a Coleman.We were never taught our language which is sad I would love to go back and visit.

Wonderful content! How delightful to see all the lovely historic homes. Now I really must come to Ste Gen.
My grandparents & dad grew up in French Village but were one of the founding families in St.Genevieve. My maiden name is AuBuchon.
This town reminds me of parts of Quebec and Louisiana. Beautiful architecture. I would love to visit sometime.

@@lydiaboyer8155 are you related to the cardinals ken Boyer?
Old Mines MO being founded in 1723 is the oldest French settlement in the state, which is also my home town.
I thought St. Joachim Catholic Church has always been known as the oldest church west of the Mississippi River. I agree Old Mines/Canon Mines are older than Ste. Genevieve!
St. Joachim church is the oldest standing church west of the Mississippi River, and is three years older than the cathedral in St.Louis.
It is a most beautiful church.
My grandma was from Old Mines. I remember going there a few times as a kid for a French colonial festival.
Mine La Motte (near Fredericktown, MO) is older. It was founded in 1717.
I hope one day I would be able to visit. ❤❤❤ All that history in one place. Sound like history buff dream!
Loving in Ste Genevieve was a interesting experience...
