Jamesport Museum is also located in the visitor center. Jamesport was known as “The Little Giant of the Prairie.” The railroad tracks ran past “The Little Brick House” in 1877. The largest stockyard in Missouri, other than St. Joseph, was across the tracks from the house. By 1920 there were 3 banks and 60 business houses and shops in town. See the pictures of the streets of Jamesport that aren’t much different than they are now. Advertisements from Jamesport stores at the turn of the century, a doctors chair, bag and equipment, and the old fashioned kitchen with wood cook stove. Take a “Step Back in Time,” at the museum.
