A Brief Visit to Kearney, Missouri
A Quick Stop in Kearney
What do you do when you have time to kill before driving another few hundred miles and checking into the Airbnb in the Ozarks? We had already seen the historic downtown marker, so we decided to visit the historic downtown of Kearney.
The railway track is in disrepair; however, the train station is well-maintained and has a different purpose today. The historic center’s authentic buildings were well-maintained. It was noticeable that Halloween was a few weeks away, with some houses excessively decorated.
"Just Like Jesse James"
We also visited the local point of interest: the grave of Jesse James. Jesse James is a name I only knew from Cher’s song, “Just Like Jesse James.” He was either an American Robin Hood or an ordinary bank robber. His status as Robin Hood, however, was never confirmed.
