The Missouri, Kansas and Eastern Railroad was completed through Marthasville in the winter of 1892 and taken over by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad in July of 1893. 

The area is also full of historical importance, both local and national. The Lewis & Clark Discovery Expedition overnighted here in 1804 on their way up the Missouri and again on the way home in September of 1806. Daniel Boone and his relatives lived in the area. He and Rebecca were buried on the Bryan farm. His gravesite is just one mile east of Marthasville. 

The region was widely settled by German immigrants during the 1800ís who brought their wine making skills with them and were attracted to this Missouri River Valley which has become known as the Missouri Rhineland. 

Some of the many attractions in and around the area are; the KATY State Park Hiking and Biking Trail, the Lewis & Clark Trail, and the Daniel Boone Monument.  Youíll find the finest wineries tucked in along our scenic drives through the hills and along the Missouri River.
