Potosi, Missouri, like nearby Old Mines, was established as a village by the French. It's original name was Mine au Breton. My mother and I swung through a few days ago on a short day trip.

| Log house, Potosi, Missouri |
Nearby is a large log house. It looks like there is a lot of stuff pile up inside the house, based on what can be seen from the road through the windows.
A son of Potosi, Tom Huck, memorialized his perspective of his hometown by way of woodcuts he called Two Weeks in August. Mr. Huck's memories are not as fond as the Chamber of Commerce might like.
