Patee House Museum

Missouri


Still imposing, the 1858 Patee House has had a long and historic life. It now showcases the city's rich history with exhibits full of 19th-century memorabilia. Next door (within the same museum complex), the outlaw Jesse James was killed by Bob Ford at what is now the Jesse James Home Museum (adult/child $4/2). The fateful bullet hole is still in the wall. Kids can ride an ornate 1902 carousel.
