Sedalia offers several notable attractions tied to its railroad, civic, agricultural, artistic, and musical history. The Sedalia Depot serves as a starting point for exploring the city and its railroad culture. Bothwell Lodge State Historic Site features Stonyridge, a massive stone structure built in sections between 1897 and 1928 by John Homer Bothwell, a major benefactor whose contributions also included Bothwell Hospital, Bothwell Hotel, and securing the permanency of the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia. The Missouri State Fair, held on 396 acres, is one of the largest state fairs in the country and has been a tradition for more than a century, with additional events such as the Missouri State Pow Wow held during the year. The Daum Museum of Contemporary Art on the campus of State Fair Community College contains nine galleries with a permanent collection of modern and contemporary art along with changing exhibitions. Maple Leaf Park marks the site of the Maple Leaf Club, where Scott Joplin, the King of Ragtime, performed and from which he drew the name of one of his most popular pieces; the park is also the site of Sedalia's annual Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival each June.
