I learned so much here about Scott Joplin and Ragtime Music. Our guide was great and even "played" one of his Ragtime songs on a player piano for us.

Really nice tour, well run and the guides knwo there stuff. This is the room where he lived and telling his story. Such an Influential American composer and so much of his work and his life are lost...

Spend 1 hour here. Easy parking. Most of the tour is upstairs. Interesting history of Joplin, the neighborhood, and more recent changes to the neighborhood. Worth the trip!
