About Potosi

Set about an hour southwest of St. Louis, Potosi is the quiet county seat of Washington County. The town got its start as an 18th-century mining settlement, and you can still see that early heritage in its historic downtown and local landmarks. Today, it offers a relaxed, small-town pace surrounded by scenic hills and forests. With Mark Twain National Forest and popular floating streams right nearby, it makes a peaceful home base for outdoor lovers.
