The outlaw Jesse James is sewn into the fabric of American history. Whether you learned about his…read moreexploits in school or by watching The Brady Bunch you'll you'll feel a closer connection to his story as you stand there looking at the bullet hole in the wall where Robert Ford shot Tom Howard (fake name Jesse James was using) in 1882. (Technically it's no longer exactly THE bullet hole since over the years, before becoming a museum, people have picked at it taking pieces as souvenirs. It's still more or less the hole though.) Moved from its original location it now sits beside the Patee House Museum . . . . which is also worth seeing. There's also an interesting (macabre) exhibit detailing the exhumation of Jesse's grave to once and for all lay to rest (see what I did there?) the rumors that this wasn't Jesse James and he lived for many more years eventually dying of old age. I love traveling America stoping at places like this.

Neat museum, but it could be so much better! I first visited the Jesse James Home Museum more than…read more20 years ago when passing through St. Joseph. It's just like I remember it - small and touristy. They've got several artifacts from the era, and you can see the hole in the wall where Jesse James was shot. That part's neat. In my opinion, they could do better to restore the house to how it looked at the time and move the articles, artifacts, pictures, clutter, etc. off the walls and place them in a separate facility (if they had one available). I think that would make it a little more authentic. For $4, though, it's not a bad place to stop and link in to a small part of St. Joseph and U.S. history.

We drove my in laws the 1.25 hours to the museum and learned so much about Amelia Earhart. There was so much information I didn't know. My in laws were so impressed with the setup and how the museum is laid out. If you have kids, I definitely recommend! While there isn't a whole lot right around the museum, it's worth the visit to learn more about KS native. If you're coming from OP, we drove home through Weston to grab lunch and it turned out to be the perfect day trip.

We drove about hour and a half from downtown KC to get here. The museum is a beautiful modern building with lots of parking spots in front. Super clean and well maintained. At the entrance hall, they have the reception (to purchase tickets), the gift shop and a small open theater where a video of Amelia plays on loop. The inside hall of the museum is so stunning. First of all there's an exact model of the aircraft Amelia flew to cross the Atlantic. There are also sections dedicated to Amelia's life and her achievements. There are also display of diesel engine and modern turbo engine, a tiny cockpit to simulate flying, and a small auditorium that played movie about aviation. A smaller upper level corner also had display of Amelia's tools, her diary and a section about her disappearance. We had an amazing experience, spending over an hour at the museum. The staff members were knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting stories and facts about Amelia during the visit. The gift shop had lots limited editions items such as compass and coins. I bought a few of them as souvenirs. The restrooms at the facility are also very clean.

Met a wonderful knowledgeable man named Fred at the River Market on a Saturday morning in October…read more He was selling some herbs and greens, but what caught my eye is that he was selling chestnuts from his farm! I have never bought uncooked chestnuts before and bought a small basket to try. These chestnuts were huge! My mistake was not cooking & trying them on that Saturday. They were so fresh, as Fred had mentioned, that they were so easy to peel! I have never had chestnuts so fresh that the fuzzy interior skin peeled off so easily! Each large chestnut was so delicious. Fred is a wealth of information! We chatted and learned he had completed his agricultural masters at the University of Hawaii at Manoa! He is the epitome of the friendly Midwesterner I remember from my college days! Check out Fred at River Market in Kansas City to see what he is selling. He will gladly answer questions. Although it is not blackberry season, he has a blackberry picking farm. Will contact him the next time I am in Kansas City! Btw, Fred said he enjoys the chestnuts boiled. I tried boiling and baking per the instructions he provided. Yes, I did clip the bottoms of the chestnuts Fred. The boiled ones were moister, but more difficult to peel. The roasted o ES peeled nicely as the hard shells cracked with light pressure. I liked them boiled with less time, then tossed in my Ninja I have in KC. I still have to do more testing on the cook times to get them perfect. Maybe I need to need to roast them on an open fire!

We were in theatre three which had three rows of reclining seating…read more Being a smaller theatre it wasn't a huge screen but certainly big enough to experience the 'big screen' feeling. Sound and picture were great. The seating, carpet, paint all looked brand new. Very clean and fresh. Popcorn was good. You add your own salt and butter. Small was pretty small but it was a good size for us. Drinks were Pepsi products and the smallest size was a medium. Tickets were on sale inside so we bought tickets and snacks together. Service was excellent. Great stop!
