About the Business
Located in Saint Joseph, Missouri, the Robidoux Row Museum and St Joseph Historical Society offer a unique glimpse into the history of westward expansion in the 19th century. The museum is housed in what is believed to be one of the oldest apartment buildings west of the Mississippi, constructed in the 1840s and completed in the 1850s.
Originally built as a series of one-room apartments, Robidoux Row later served as a temporary residence for families waiting for their homes to be built in the downtown area, as well as travelers heading west. The building's rooms feature iron stoves for heating and cooking, with lighting provided by candles or oil lamps.
The museum showcases the history of fur trading, Robidoux's legacy, and the early history of Saint Joseph. The restoration of the building was undertaken by the Saint Joseph Historical Society in 1974, saving it from demolition for highway construction.
Visitors can explore the museum's rooms, furnished to reflect the 1840-50 period, and learn about the fascinating history of the area. The museum is open to the public on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10AM to 4PM. It offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience the rich history of Saint Joseph.
