Saint Joseph is a city of museums with nine museums located in the city. The Glore Psychiatric Museum is listed by Yahoo Travel as one of the 50 most unusual museums in the United States. It traces the history of mental illness from the country’s founding to present times. Others enjoy reliving the days of the Pony Express at the Pony Express Museum. Others enjoy touring the Patee House Museum. The 140 room hotel was once the largest hotel west of the Mississippi River. In 2008, it was listed as one of the top ten western museums in the world. Still others enjoy visiting the Jessie James Museum, the place that Jessie James died. Other museums enjoyed by current residents of assisted living facilities in St. Joseph, Missouri, include National Military Heritage Museum, Robidoux Row Museum, Society Of Memories Doll Museum, Twin Spires Religious Museum and Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art. You had better hurry and move to an assisted living facility so that you will have time to visit all these museums.
Many of our residents enjoy eating a juicy steak at The Hoof and Horn in Saint Joseph’s stockyard district. The pan-fried chicken at Galvin’s cannot be beat. In the mood for Mexican food, then head to Barbosa’s Castillo. If you just want a great loose meat sandwich, then head to Maid Rite.
Many seniors enjoy being outside. Saint Joseph is home to many walking trails. Most of them are wheelchair accessible. One of the most popular starts at Corby Pond and ends at Ferndale road. Another popular choice starts downtown on the Riverfront and continues to the Nature Center.
