A U.S. Mail Coach is on display at the 1857 Ross House that is now the Audrain County Museum.
The Ross House built by 1857 by John Clark is located within the 11-acre Robert S. Green Park in Mexico MO. It now serves as the Audrain County Museum. Along with the Firebrick Museum and American Saddle Horse Museum. They also have research resources for the Civil War and for Equestrians. The mansion hosted Col. Ulysses S. Grant during the early days of the Civil War. One thing on display we had never seen before was Three Face Stemware. A very interesting place to visit.
