Experience the rich history of St Jo Mo, where the "Wild West" officially began at these three terrific museums. Only a mile from the B and B, you will journey back in time to the beginnings of the Gold Rush and the Pony Express. The Patee House Museum is the true "That’s the way it was" experience "back in the day" of the westward expansion, and Gold Rush pioneers. Learn about the "outlaw life" at the  Jesse James Museum in the original home where he met his fate. Saddle up and head on down a couple of blocks to the  Pony Express Museum for the 1860 " ambitious and adventurous" business venture on quick mail service. Many "famous" Wild West names are on the list of Pony Express Riders. Make your excursion complete with a trip down to the stockyards for a late lunch or dinner at the Hoof and Horn restaurant complete with a saloon type atmosphere.
