St Joseph - Robidoux Row Museum

Joseph Robidoux, a fur trader who had long been associated with the area, founded Saint Joseph. As new families arrived, housing became an issue so Robidoux built a series of seven connected houses, or apartments, on the north side of his new town. Today the four remaining units of Robidoux Row have been restored. The East Building is now a house museum that includes a restoration of Robidoux's personal quarters, furnished with some of his own belongings and other period pieces, and a wintering room that appears much as it may have when it was providing shelter for a pioneer family on the move.
