It’s a little confusing, but there are three cemeteries contiguous to each other to the west of downtown St. Charles, and each has its own section, but there are no boundaries between them.

In the southeast corner of the huge area is St. John’s Cemetery.

While in the north and west is Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery.

In the northwest corner is St. Peter’s Cemetery.

Regardless, the cemeteries’ monuments read like a “who’s who” of famous St. Charles County residents going back to the Eighteenth Century.

Simple plastic posts at the corner of drives in the cemetery allow visitors to know which section is in each cemetery. For example, below is Immanuel Lutheran.

While below is St. Peter’s.

This Crucifixion, which is missing Mary Magdalene, is in St. Peter’s section.

To top it off, there is also Boone’s Lick Park on the west side of the area, which has been ripped up and looks to be on the way to being turned into a water retention basin.

It’s worth visiting if you’re interested in St. Charles County history.
