Join Brad, Frank and Nancy from Paranormal Patrol as they make their way to Boonville, Missouri on this epic investigation with our good friends Patriot Paranormal. Perched just across the Missouri River from Boonville, Rivercene Mansion was built in 1869 by steamboat captain Joseph Beeler Kinney, a wealthy figure during the golden age of river trade.Kinney designed the estate as a lavish summer retreat—an imposing Second Empire–style home with grand porches, ornate woodwork, and sweeping views of the river that made his fortune. The mansion symbolized both his success and the booming river economy of 19th-century Missouri.
Locals once mocked the project as “Kinney’s Folly,” believing it sat too close to the unpredictable Missouri River. But the mansion endured floods for over a century, outlasting its critics and becoming a historic landmark.
