Glore Psychiatric Museum
St Joseph, Missouri
Chronicling the 140-year history of the adjacent state mental hospital, this museum offers a fascinating look at the evolution of mental health treatment. Visitors can explore replica treatment devices, patient artwork, and bizarre items swallowed by patients, including a famous collection of over 1,400 safety pins.
Leila's Hair Museum
Independence, Missouri
This unique museum is the only one of its kind in the world, dedicated entirely to the historic art of hair wreaths and jewelry. Visitors can marvel at over 2,000 intricate items dating back to the Victorian era, including pieces containing locks from historical figures like Daniel Webster.
Uranus Fudge Factory and General Store
St. Robert, MO
This delightfully tacky Route 66 roadside stop leans heavily into puns with its famous slogan, 'The best fudge comes from Uranus.' Visitors can watch fudge being made, explore a giant general store, and visit an on-site sideshow museum featuring two-headed animals and oddities.
