Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Preserving our historic properties in Ste Genevieve, Missouri and sharing the stories of America's colonial heritage.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Promoting the preservation of historic colonial-era structures in the Upper Mississippi River Valley Region, and sharing the stories of America's French Creole heritage through educational programming for diverse public audiences.

  • Our organization offers historic house tours, exhibits and public programs that explain and teach about the history of French Colonial America and French "Creole" culture, particularly in Upper Louisiana, as it is illustrated through the story of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri in the late 18th to early 19th centuries. Our programs introduce audiences of diverse backgrounds and age levels to the distinctive French vertical timber architecture, imperial Spanish rule from the 1760s to 1800, daily life in the colonial era, and the development of a unique Creole culture in this region, which grew from the interaction of the colonists of French descent with Native Americans, Africans, and other groups. In 2022, our museum campus, The Centre for French Colonial Life, served a total of 15,166 visitors, indicating a gradual recovery from the impact of the Covid pandemic, which had reduced visitation to 7,773 in 2020, and 14,888 in 2021. Historic preservation is a key part of our mission as well as education: in addition to a modern exhibits facility, our museum campus includes four historic buildings dating from the late 18th to mid-nineteenth centuries. Our staff in 2022 consisted of 15 full and part-time employees, serving administrative, education, curatorial, and building maintenance functions.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
