Warrenton’s history is not only courthouse or highway history. The Schowengerdt House gives the county a preserved home-place anchor on East Boonslick Road.

Missouri State Parks hosts the National Register material for the Ernst Schowengerdt House, which records that the house was built in 1866 for Ernst Schowengerdt and was listed on the National Register in 1980. The Warren County Historical Society is the current point of contact for visits and house-history research.

The house ties local family history, German-settlement threads, and present-day historical research to one Warrenton address. The preserved home gives that history a human scale beyond offices and tax records.
