About
The Henry Rockwell Baker Memorial Community Center, which has served St. Charles residents as a Community Center for more than 80 years, was a gift to the community from Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Baker. The building, which was dedicated in May of 1926, was conceived as a “living memorial” to their son, Henry Rockwell Baker, and to veterans of World War I. A bronze plate bearing the veterans’ names is located on an exterior wall adjacent to the main entrance.
