The
outlaw, Jesse James and his notorious gang staged the robbery when they
heard that a shipment of gold worth $75,000 would roll through Adair.
Thanks to a delay the James Gang was only able to heist about $3000.00
before fleeing to Missouri, where they divided their loot and went their
separate ways. Today, Adair holds the Annual Jesse James Days, where
guests can enjoy a parade and re-enactment of the Train Robbery during
Mid-July. 
One
of our niece’s favorite places to visit is the Zoo. The amazing thing about
visiting a Zoo is each visit is a unique experience. At the Blank Park Zoo
animal lovers can view and learn more about lions, tigers and many more of
nature’s amazing creatures. Kids will enjoy the family-friendly special events
and hands-on experiences available at this 22-acre zoo.
