We visited the City Hall in Joplin for the Visit Joplin stamp in the Mother Road Passport. While we didn't end up figuring out where to get the stamp, we did enjoy the murals in the City Hall as well as the exhibit about the creation of the Joplin at the Turn of the Century, 1896-1906 mural.

The World Street Painting Gallery was an unplanned find near the Joplin History & Mineral Museum. These were originally done in June 2025 and it appears they will be doing more this June in honor of Route 66's 100th. Most of the art was Route 66 themed.

The Joplin History & Mineral Museum has been a Route 66 attraction since it opened in 1931. The main exhibits are about the tri-state mining industry and other local Joplin local history. There is also a Route 66 exhibit. Most unique is the National Cookie Cutter Historical Museum is housed inside the museum.
We started with the mineral part of the museum. It was interesting to see the different minerals and learn about the mining industry in the area. The fluorescent minerals display was a highlight of this area.
The Route 66 exhibit was of particular interest to us as we visited as part of driving Route 66. The exhibit featured displays for each of the states Route 66 goes through.
One of the interesting items in the local history section was this portable kitchen from the mid-1800s.
The local history also included local Civil War history, especially related to the Battle of Carthage.
The National Cookie Cutter Historical Museum Collection featured cookie cutters representing each of the 50 states as part of a celebrating the United States 250th.
There was also a Route 66 themed cookie cutter display.

We stopped at the Route 66 Welcome Center in Webb City to get the stamp for the Mother Road Passport. The visitor center is located in an old gas station.
There is a Welcome to Webb City mural on the building behind the parking lot. We got a free magnet featuring this mural along with our stamp for the Mother Road Passport.
There is also a classic truck parked by their sign.

Red Oak II is a little bit off of Route 66. The "town" is a collection of various old buildings brought here from other places including the original Red Oak and some newer buildings made to fit in with the old to make the town more complete, such as the train station. We probably spent about an hour wandering around the town. Many of buildings in the town are private residences or otherwise not open to go inside, but a few of the buildings you can go inside.
