Review:

St. Joseph is an easy half-hour drive from Kansas City, featuring a wide variety of historic sites, including a large number of 19th-century buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places showcasing impressive Victorian-era architecture. The city is infamously the site of the death of notorious outlaw Jesse James and served as the starting point for the legendary Pony Express. Visitors can learn about the city’s history and culture at 13 area museums such as the Pony Express Museum, the Jesse James Home Museum, or the Glore Psychiatric Museum. The 26-mile St. Joseph Parkway winds through the city, offering hiking and biking opportunities, and vast conservation area lands nearby offer opportunities for fishing and hunting. For sports lovers, the city is the site of the Kansas City Chiefs Summer Training Camp, located at Missouri Western State University.
