From the French-style log home that once stood here, territorial governors shifted the style of government from Spanish to American. They set up new laws, a new legal system, and divided the area into counties. General James Wilkinson and Meriwether Lewis lived and worked here. Later, William Clark lived here with his family. When Missouri became a state, Alexander McNair, its first governor, owned the house.
