Where Jesse James Was Killed

At the house where Jesse James was killed on April 3, 1882 in St. Joseph, Missouri, there is a sign out front saying "See the bullet hole". The bullet entered the wall after traveling through Jesse's head. Souvenir hunters chipped away at the hole, making it quite large. There is also a depression in the floor (created by souvenir hunters) where Jesse's head lay after he fell off his chair.
