North Region, Missouri, Real Estate

Denizens of Missouri's northwest corner played memorable parts in the drama that was the West. Native Americans, explorers, vagabonds, cowpokes, prospectors, card players and outlaws as well as combinations of the above left their imprint on the area. The 19th Century is alive and kicking in St. Joseph, home of the legendary, short-lived Pony Express. Red-brick Pike's Peak Stables, now a museum, enshrines the Express days. The Patee House Museum, original headquarters, now exhibits 1800s lifeways. Next door is the house where bank and train bandit Jesse James Home lived out his latter days until being shot by Bob Ford in 1882.
