Marthasville's Depot Street keeps old commercial buildings visible

Marthasville's Depot Street has National Register-listed commercial buildings that help explain the town's Katy Trail and river-corridor feel.

Marthasville’s small-town color is concentrated along the same corridor that brings many visitors through town. Missouri State Parks’ Warren County National Register list includes the Herman H. Fortmann Building at 207 Depot Street and the Marthasville Hardware Building at 203 Depot Street.

The City of Marthasville’s local-attractions page also frames the town around the Katy Trail and nearby historic stops. That helps explain why Depot Street matters: it is not just a road name, but a clue to the town’s rail and river-corridor past.

Those two buildings give Marthasville a specific local texture beyond the broader Missouri Rhineland and Daniel Boone stories that already shape the county.
