SAINT JOSEPH, MISSOURI - THE PLACE TO BE TO SEE HISTORY!
St. Joseph, Missouri once made an indelible mark on American history. Famous for the Pony Express, Jesse James, and the inventions of: asprin, the fire pole, Aunt Jemima, Stetson Hats, Saltine crackers, and even sliced bread! St. Joseph is also the birthplace of Walter Cronkite, Coleman Hawkins, Marshall Mathers III (aka Eminem), Jane Wyman, and Ruth Warrick. Ideally located at America's western-most terminus between the gold rush and westward expansion, St. Joseph prospered, to say the least. Opportunities were plenty and great fortunes were amassed. In the Era of Excess, America’s “Queen City of the West” was not to be out done. St. Joseph's historic inventory is comprised of over 50 National Register listings that include over 2000 total properties. No where does more high-style late-Victorian architecture still remain. Come See For Yourself - Missouri loves Company!
