In 1989, Goldenrod was purchased by the city of St. Charles for $300,000 and moved to the historic Missouri River town.
She was restored and renovated, costing the city about 3.5 million dollars over the next 12 years.
The dinner theater continued to operate as a popular attraction.
 In 2001, she was run aground after Missouri River levels ran low.
Goldenrod was closed due to Coast Guard structural repair requirements.
 The repair estimates were much higher than expected, and the City Council decided to sell her in 2002.
