  Home of the founder of Saint Joseph, Joseph Robidoux. It is one of the oldest apartments west of the Mississippi! Lovely gardens, many artifacts, and multiple floors to explore. You can rent it for special events, too. Nice gift shop :) Be sure to swing by this museum as part of your history tour.

  I went to this museum several years ago, and was taking pictures of each of the rooms after everybody had left, I made sure no one was behind me and everybody was out of view, before I took the picture, as I was going through my pictures something caught my eye in the mirror of this room and I zoomed in and saw something standing behind me, I have no idea what it is, I did go back, and they were nice enough to let me go to the room and retake the picture, but I didn't catch anything, so far I have no idea who or what it is, but it is pretty neat and creepy.

  I really enjoyed this Museum and learning the story behind the place. While Joseph Robidoux may have been a "rogue", he certainly had some good ideas - as demonstrated by this novel (for the time) concept of an apartment house. And, as usual, I'm blown away by how thoughtful the supporters of places like this are in their imagining and caretaking. Kudos.

  This is a great little museum that provides a good intro to St Joe's history. It's a good size for kids (my nine year old grandsons spent 45 minutes looking through all the exhibits) and also for out of town visitors who may have limited time. Like the much larger Patee House it is curated by people who clearly have a sense of place and value their history and their community. On a nice day you can then go walk around historic Mt Mora cemetery and you will see some names there that match those in the exhibits. A good way to talk with kids about how the past shapes the present and future.
