Frankenstein, Missouri
Frankenstein is an unincorporated community in northwestern Osage County, Missouri, USA.[1] It is located about 20 km (12 mi) east of Jefferson City. The community is located on Missouri Route C about midway between Luystown to the east and Bonnots Mill to the west. Cedar Creek flows past about one mile south of the site.[2]
A post office called Frankenstein was established in 1893, and remained in operation until 1921.[3] The community most likely derives its name from Godfried Franken, a pioneer citizen.[4]
