Did You Know?
KC's Famous Outlaws

Did you know that the notorious American outlaw, Jesse James, was born right here in the Kansas City area in 1847?  

In Kearney, MO you can visit the Jesse James Birthplace at the James Farm. See where the legend began when you tour the original cabin where Jesse James was born and raised. The Museum is home to the world's largest collection of James family artifacts. 

In Liberty, MO, visit the Jesse James Bank Museum - the site of the nation's first successful daylight peacetime bank robbery. While the robbers were never caught, the crime was attributed to the infamous James-Younger Gang. Visitors will see the bank as it was in 1866. Period furnishings fill the room and one becomes immersed in the story of the robbery as told by the bank teller.
