Is that a giant ball of string next to a horse-drawn hearse? A display of local murder weapons (including an electric drill) and an exhibit on the World's Tallest Man? Strange things await here.

This is a must-see if you have time to spare in St Joseph. The location is full of history: the Civil War, the Pony Express, the railroad, toys, and just about anything else you can think of is in this old hotel museum. I would allow a minimum of two hours, and all day if you have the time. There is literally something around every corner. We hated to leave after 2.5 hours. Will be going back!

Lots of cool stuff to see but none of it is new, all is old.
