Jesse James, son of a Baptist minister, was born at the family home in 1847. He and his older brother, Frank, fought with the guerrillas during the Civil War.

The tour consists of a twenty minute introductory film, three galleries of artifacts, a small gift shop and a guided tour through the James family cabin.

We went with 11 year old girl, 13 year old boy. Both had a blast and two hours was not nearly enough time! Corn maze, MASSIVE corn pit, fun slide, lots of homemade games, fun treehouse community, didn’t get to do the hayride or see the pumpkin patch.
