Patee House Museum in St. Joseph occupies a former hotel associated with the Pony Express headquarters.
Displays explore transport, commerce and local history within a building that has played several roles in the city’s development.
Check current museum opening arrangements and admission before arriving. Allow time for the large collection rather than expecting a single-room exhibit. The photograph shows a recreated drugstore display inside the museum. The nearby Jesse James Home is a separate historic building with its own access arrangements, so confirm how to combine the two if both interest you.
