In the far western portion of St. Louis County, Wildwood, MO was only incorporated in 1995, but the presence of Big Chief Restaurant from 1928 points to the area’s role as a section of the famous Route 66. Historic villages that were waypoints for early motorists have been gathered into the city of Wildwood, but many landmarks continue as points of historic interest including the Pond Inn, Historic Kern Service Station, and Stovall’s Grove roadhouse, still a country music destination.
November through March are chilly to downright freezing in this part of St. Louis County, while summers are moderately hot but usually quite humid. Having reliable heating and air conditioning is important, and humidity control can be essential in the summer. At Scott-Lee Heating Company we have standby technicians available 365 days a year, and offer scheduled repairs, maintenance, and installation.
