Joplin's a big city—52,000 and counting!—so you know you have plenty to do here. The Joplin History & Mineral Museum tells residents and visitors about how the city began and flourished (learning about the lead mining is fascinating, but it's the current exhibits that make tours exceptional!). The public library provides hours of distraction and fun for the whole family (it's been a Carnegie Library since 1902). And Main Street is filled with spectacular murals for blocks—check out Route 66 Mural Park on South Main for a real treat!

When you're out on the town, enjoying the crab cakes and calamari at Crabby's and perusing the exhibits at the Spiva Center for the Arts, you actually want to enjoy everything. Luckily, ADT can help keep your home safe while you're shopping at Blue Moon Boutique or treasure hunting at Country Pickins Antiques or attending Storytelling Days at George Washington Carver National Monument.

JOMO celebrates everyone and everything from all walks of life—as they say, they're "proud of [the] past…shaping [the] future." Without the unique culture and residents that make this city a home, Joplin couldn't thrive. So here's to you: welcome home!
