| And then there was the Pioneer Village |
AKA: A village in a village
|
Pioneer Villege in Minden, Nebraska, is an odd conglomeration of lots of things. There's a museum
with items dating from pioneer days, through early automobiles and airplanes. Out back, there's a collection of buildings,
mostly from the 1800's. Each building is filled with memorabilia from the period. A visit here takes you through a lot of
time periods -- lots of fun!
