About the Tour
Built in 1856, the Alexander Majors House originally served as the base of operations for Majors’ overland shipping company, Russell, Majors & Waddell. Majors was instrumental in the opening of the west, both because of his freighting company and his co-ownership of the Pony Express. Visitors will learn about his life and businesses, as well as daily life in the nineteenth century for wealthy Missouri families.
Self-guided tours of the Majors House allow guests to enjoy the museum at their own pace. Knowledgeable docents will be present during your tour to answer questions. Guests typically spend 30 minutes to an hour in the museum.
Private tours by request only.
