The mission of the Pony Express Historical Association is to interpret the early history and development of St. Joseph, from the days of the Pony Express and Jesse James to the 1920s, using authentic artifacts in the buildings where these events actually occurred.

We stopped by the Patee Museum for about an hour and a half on our way to Kansas City, and it was well worth the stop. The museum holds a treasure cove of information about a variety of subjects (namely the Pony Express and Western American History), and if you read everything, you could easily stay there for hours. After paying $7.00 for admission (very reasonable), we also picked up some 25-cent “Scavenger Hunt” cards. The hunt was a ton of fun, and it forces you to look closely at each exhibit for a modern item that doesn’t belong (it’ll make more sense when you’re there). If you get 16/20 of the scavenger hunt items correct, you win yourself a $1.00 share to the Pony Express Historical Association! It’s a cool little souvenir. Take the time to stop by if you’re in the area and you’ve got a couple of hours to blow. The Jesse James House is right next door as well.

We stopped by here today. I had not been here before and actually thought I was taking my family to the Patee House, which I remembered from many years ago as the Pony Express Museum. We were delighted to find the exhibits here. After a short introductory film, walked through the many zones and learned about the terrain, implements, and people involved with the express. This is a nice, affordable option for the family. There is a nice park across the street, a short drive to downtown for lunch, and then a mile or two to the nature area by the river for a walk.

Overlooking the Missouri River, this center caters to history and nature buffs alike. Peer into a 7,000-gallon freshwater aquarium; explore the history of the St. Joseph area; stand trunk to nose with a woolly mammoth replica. See our website for a complete listing of activities, sights and adventures. Please also visit our Facebook page.

Wonderful little place with diverse history about the area. Very nicely kept grounds. The "local stones" displayed were a VERY PLEASANT suprise! Finding the "Robin" for the kids was a GREAT idea although we did it as a family. Lots of great information. The gift shop was wonderful with very affordable pricing.

It was very exciting to be about to see all the old stuff and get to know the old family history. I am related to Jesse James. So it was cool to see al the stuff from that time period.
