The same admission price gains you access to the Everett J. Once you finish with the general history side, we suggest a visit to the mining museum. ( You can read more about the history museum here.) It is easy to wile away a couple of hours looking at the assorted collections. This is a collection of galleries featuring historical artifacts associated with various aspects of life in Joplin, Missouri. This first side we visited was the Dorothea B. This place is a history buffs dream, as it is actually two museums in one.
Our first stop was at the Joplin Museum Complex. Through the years, they have actually made a couple of realignments of the route, so there are three unique sections of the highway within the city limits. This was a constant conversation item with the business owners that we spoke with. The city has quite a few sights specific to Route 66, which draw hordes of travelers each year. Our weekend of travel was focused on the “Mother Road”, so Joplin was a must-see. Joplin is the fourth largest city in Missouri, and was an original Route 66 destination. Rest assured that all opinions are our own. We want to thank Visit Joplin, Mo. and the businesses of Joplin for their hospitality. With so much history in this region, it was important for them to show the country the results of a “can do” attitude.
While there are still scars from this event, the people of Joplin have pulled together to rebuild from this tragedy. (We packed a lot into our timeline.) Joplin is a name that many have seen in recent years, due to the massive tornado that struck a significant portion of the city.

Our visit to Joplin, Missouri lasted just over 24 hours, but could have easily been extended to a full weekend. Like many people, we are learning that there are lots of things to do in some of the medium sized cities.
