About 620 miles north of New Orleans and 62 miles south of St. Louis, sits the town of Ste. Genevi\\xe9ve, Missouri.

Established in 1750 by the French, Ste. Genevi\\xe9ve reveals much about what it was like to establish a colony in the heartland of North America and what it was like for colonists to live so far removed from seats of imperial power.

Claire Casey, a National Park Service interpretative ranger at the Ste. Genevi\\xe9ve National Historical Park, joins us to explore the early American history of Ste. Genevi\\xe9ve.
