Description Femme Osage Missouri, April 2017.

The first settlers found a dead Osage squaw in the creek, hence the name.  

Currently there is a cluster of seven mailboxes across the road from the old general store, but this place never was much more than a village.  Most commerce in the area would have been conducted in Augusta, which is five miles away.

At it's height, Femme Osage had a blacksmith, a shoe shop. a general store, a school and one church.  Most of those buildings still exist, but only the church is still actively used.  From what i could see, most of the houses appear to be old, but nice and in good repair.  One of which has been turned into a bed & breakfast.  

Someplace nearby is Daniel Boone's house (or maybe it was his son's house).
