'''Marthasville''' is a city in [[Warren County, Missouri|Warren County]], [[Missouri]], United States. The population was 1,136 at the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]]. The [[Katy Trail State Park|Katy Trail]], a 240-mile long bike path, passes through Marthasville.

The original graves of [[Daniel Boone]] and his wife were located near there.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RfAuAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA369 | title=How Missouri Counties, Towns and Streams Were Named | publisher=The State Historical Society of Missouri | author=Eaton, David Wolfe | year=1918 | pages=369}}</ref> In 1845, Boone's remains were disinterred and moved to [[Kentucky]] for burial. Resentment in Missouri about the disinterment grew over the years, and a legend arose that Boone's remains never left Missouri.

Because of the many wineries from here east to [[Defiance, Missouri|Defiance]], Marthasville is considered to mark one end of the "[[Missouri Weinstrasse]]".
