This small village was named after early settler Luther D. Hart, who sold land to the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad in the late 1800s.

While in-town options are limited, the Claysville Store—about 4 miles east—offers homemade meals and restrooms on weekends. Hartsburg also borders the Hart Creek Conservation Area, adding natural beauty to this quiet stretch of trail.

On June 6, 1804, the Lewis and Clark Expedition camped on the starboard side of the Missouri River after a challenging day navigating strong currents and eroding banks. Earlier, they passed notable landmarks including Split Rock Creek and Saline Creek, the latter known for its salt springs. The day's journey was marked by the river rising a foot overnight and the crew's efforts to mend the barge's mast before setting out.

Just off the Katy Trail near McBaine stands the McBaine Bur Oak, affectionately known as the Burr Oak Big Tree. Estimated to be between 350 and 400 years old, this majestic tree boasts a trunk circumference of 287 inches, a height of approximately 90 feet, and a canopy spread of 130 feet. As the largest bur oak in Missouri, it shares the title of national champion with a counterpart in Kentucky. Situated about half a mile from the Missouri River, it's believed that the Lewis and Clark Expedition passed within sight of this enduring natural landmark. Accessible via a short detour from the trail, the tree offers a serene spot to pause and reflect amidst the beauty of the Missouri River floodplain.
