HISTORY

Where St. Joseph Began

Built in the 1840s by city founder Joseph Robidoux, Robidoux Row once sheltered families, fur traders, and westward-bound pioneers waiting to cross the Missouri River.


Today, the restored landmark serves as a museum preserving the stories of those who shaped this city, and the American West.
