"TNT"
ST. CHARLES COUNTY, MISSOURI
This monument is dedicated to the several hundreds families whose exodus from Howell, Hamburg, and Toonerville-Y communities took place prior to the declaration of World War II, Dec. 7, 1941

The U.S. Government purchased approximately eighteen thousand acres for construction of a plant to manufacture TNT for World War II. Mandatory moving followed from homes , schools, churches, businesses, and farms.

To past, present, and future generations, we express a heartfelt wish: "PEACE"
