One of the most historically significant properties still standing in Wentzville, the Dula Hoeckleman House and Tobacco Barn was on it's way to ruin when the WMSA took over the property and began the task of restoring it in 2016. 

When the Wentzville Main Street Association took possession of the property in 2016 it was in dire straights. Built around 1860, the property had been vacant for many years and was in a state of serious disrepair. Despite all of the tremendous obstacles, we clearly understood the historic value this property has for Wentzville. After years of seeing historic sites destroyed, the Wentzville Main Street Association decided the Dula Hoeckleman property would not join the long list of historic sites lost to "progress."  The newly-restored property will become the new headquarters of the WMSA, and we look forward to opening the property in 2026.
