For thousands of years man lived quite simply. Then
like a sleeping giant our world was awakened. In a mere hundred and
twenty years of eternal time man progressed from open hearth, grease
lamps and ox carts to television, super sonic speed, and atomic power.
We have endeavored to show you the actual development of this astounding
progress as it was unfolded by our forefathers and by ourselves.
Harold Warp, Founder
Relive America's Golden Yesterdays
You have to see it to believe it... The largest private collection
of Americana anywhere. The Pioneer Village complex comprises 28 buildings
on 20 acres housing over 50,000 irreplaceable items of historical value,
restored to operating order, arranged in groups and also in the chronological
order of their development. There's 12 historic buildings around the
circular "green". There's a Frontier Fort, a real honest-to-goodness
Pony Express Station, an Iron Horse, and a home made of sod. There's
a general store and a toy store, chock full of all the goods from yesteryear.
An original art collection including 25 Currier and Ives prints, 23
Jackson paintings, and the largest single collection of Rogers statues.
You can ride a priceless steam carousel, see 17 historic flying machines
and marvel at 100 antique tractors. See a 1902 Cadillac and a 1903 Ford,
both designed by Henry Ford. Plus 350 other antique cars, all displayed
in their order of development. For a relaxing trip into yesterday, come
to Pioneer Village.
