One the best museums in the Midwest. Exhibits are hands on and presented very creatively. Huge breadth of topics covered. Historic building and cheap entry price.

A lot of great period antiques along with informative back stories. Plan to spend some time there if you are a history buff.

Facinating place if you like history. They have a little bit of everything from 1800s-early1900s historyfire engines, pony express, trains, telephones, cars, merry-go-round, furniture, stage coach, old fashion rooms, ball of string, tallest man, etc. My only problem with the museum is it's about as random as that list. You never know what is around the next corner. But it was fun and I would definitely do it again.

Awesome museum of late 19th century life. Great full size exhibits. Jesse James' last home where he died is next door, but is a separate museum.

Great place. It has a lot of historic pieces and information from old flags, to old 1950 television and old cars. You will need at least 2 hours to do this place right.

This a very great place to learn about the pony express buisness. As well as a bunch of other things. The item seeking was a nice touch. And its very fun to explore the manor.

Hours listed as daily 9-4pm but found door locked at 3:30pm.. could not get in. Then went to Jesse James house and same story.. closed early. Apparently a small town thing where workers leave immediately at 4pm and can't be bothered to stay later.

This museum features tons of information while still being the perfect place for families with children of all ages. An 1800's locomotive sits right in the center, with the vintage carousel (that you can ride for less than $2!), streets showcasing period appropriate business fronts, a grand ball room and so much more!! Give yourself plenty of time to see this museum, as there are 2 floors with so many fantastic items that you won't want to miss. Strollers are not allowed inside, though children of all ages are welcome.
Prices for Patee are:
Adults- $6, Seniors (60+)- $5, Students (6-17)- $4 and children under 5 are free (with paid admission)
The Jesse James home, where Jesse was shot and killed, is also on the property. This is a separate museum and charges separate admission.

My kids were tired and acted up a lot. I wish I had more time. There is sooo much history and information. Its self guided. I like that. I could spend hours looking at each piece of history! Cheap too!
