A great day of
adventure awaits
Mascoutah located just 23 miles from downtown
St. Louis, had its beginning in 1837 as the German
settlement "Mechanicsburg". The honest and proud leaders
changed the name to Mascoutah after discovering that
there already was a Mechanicsburg in Illinois.
Noted for its flourishing businesses and the
well-established milling industry of the early days,
Mascoutah evolved to a safe and friendly community of
over 6000 residents with close-knit relationships to
Scott AFB.
The Mascoutah's downtown district boosts a unique and
growing array of specialty shops and residences.
Visitors enjoy exploring a brand new Visitor Center, a
Heritage Museum, two giant murals, picturesque historic
mansions, shops and restaurants.
The annual August Fest, parades and many community
events are entertaining families throughout the year. A
new Put-Put Course neighboring the peaceful Country Club
& Prairie Lake, along with the three parks and the
remodeled pool keep residents and visitors busy
throughout all seasons.
