The Big Muddy Speaker Series in St. Charles, MO
Attend a Presentation
The St. Charles series is held at 7:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month at Bike Stop Cafe in historic downtown St. Charles.
St. Charles was founded because of its location on the Missouri River. Today we are lucky to have so many experts willing to share their knowledge with us about this amazing river, its floodplain and the nature and history that surrounds it. We’re trying to keep the topics varied and interesting, but if you have an interest in the Missouri River, we think you’re going to love these.
Greenway Network is the lead organizer of the Big Muddy Speaker Series in St. Charles.
Special Thanks to Our Series Partners
