James Farm, Jesse James birthplace photo taken by the Author
On October 4th, 2025, I had the great honor to being invited to speak at the James Farm reunion to talk about the Train robbery in Adair Iowa in 1873. I was one of five speakers who gave presentations at the James Farm. The presenters were Frank & Cole, Buffalo Soldier George Pettigrew, Author Richard Gooch and me. It was a beautiful day for a reunion in the hills of western Missouri. I am especially grateful to Laura Ganschow Dellinger, and Bryan Ivlow who helped to make my presentation possible. The James Farm is a beautifully preserved and well-maintained historic site, that helps to preserve and interpret a turbulent time in American history. While there, I took the opportunity to take a lot of photos which are included below. The museum also contains many important artifacts related to Jesse James and the James family. The museum is located in Kearny Missouri and well worth the visit.
