Things to do in St. Joseph
St. Joseph sits on the Missouri River north of Kansas City and once marked the edge of the American frontier: the Pony Express began its first ride here in 1860, and Jesse James was killed in a house on the city’s east side in 1882. Its grand mansions and brick commercial buildings date from the wealth of that era. Today the city is part of the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor, with major animal health and pharmaceutical operations, along with food processing, manufacturing and Missouri Western State University.
