In Memory of
Lucianna Gladney Ross
Lucianna Gladney Ross was our
Matriarch of Kimmswick. As an
heir to the 7-Up Co., Mrs. Ross had
the monies to invest in a
project. As a child, she and her
family would travel to their summer
home in Kimmswick. People came
by train or riverboat to enjoy time in
this popular river town. As time
passed, the highways were built
making automobiles popular, and
the riverboats and trains stopped coming. The condition
of the town became very run-down. Mrs. Ross visited
Kimmswick in the 1970's and her heart was broken as
historic buildings had been torn down or were in
deplorable condition. She decided to restore and
revitalize the town, this became her project for many
years to come! Mrs. Ross passed away on January 24,
2012, at the age of 96. In 2013, Mrs. Ross’ estate gifted
The Visitor Center building to the Kimmswick Historical
Society. It was her desire that the Maul House continue
to serve as a welcome center for guests. Our promise as
Kimmswick Merchants is to keep her spirit and vision
alive!
Enjoy the Hospitality
of our restaurants, wide variety of
goods in our many gift shops and
galleries, or tour one of our
wonderful museums. Forty-four
buildings within the seven block
commercial district have been recently added to The National
Registry of Historic Places.
Public Restrooms are available at the Kimmswick Visitor
Center as well as all Dining Establishments.
