Title: Harold Warp Pioneer Village Minden, Nebraska Post by: scalebowler on March 16, 2014, 07:53:34 pm Last weekend my friend and I went to Pioneer Village in Minden Nebraska. That place is really awesome! We were there almost the entire time they were open and even though we went through everything we had to rush to see it all. I REALLY want to go back and take the time to look at everything. It's a little run down but they have TONS of old cars, some jukeboxes, gas pumps, farm equipment, appliances, tools and a bunch of other really neat old things. Honestly I think they have about 4 two story buildings in the back of the lot with nothing but cars. They even have some old slot machines that they turned into souvenir vendors. Really cool since it you put a quarter in, pull the handle and the reels spin and no matter what you get a souvenir coin. I ended up taking almost 300 pictures and won't post all of them but here are a few highlights. Also if you are ever around Minden, Nebraska try to check this place out. They have some really neat stuff but unfortunately their attendance has been going down drastically over the years and they REALLY need the business.

The way things are going all signs will be electronic and cars will mostly be electric in the next 25 years.

Title: Re: Harold Warp Pioneer Village Minden, Nebraska Post by: Creighton on March 17, 2014, 05:43:06 am Not good news that there is a decline. Been there and it is one fine museum. Not surprised things are dusty. Huge collection. It is in the middle of almost nowhere but well worth a look see.
Did you catch an addy for donations? Thanks! Creighton Title: Re: Harold Warp Pioneer Village Minden, Nebraska Post by: georgescustompaint on March 17, 2014, 09:21:58 am Very cool !
