Has lots of cars and much more non car items. Most not well displayed. Has some not pristine condition vehicles that you can touch. Too costly. See the tractor museum in Kimball instead.

This was a super fun visit. There were many buildings FULL of really amazing cars. It's set up in kind of and old western town feel and maybe sometimes the displays were a little too dusty BUT, It was WAY more fun than visiting these cars in a shiny, clean "museum." Overall, it was a good value and we had a good time.

This was an interesting place. There was a lot to look at. If you don’t have time it is not a must stop. If you enjoy history and reading you will enjoy this place.

KimBerns

Decided to stop and see this as we saw numerous billboards along the interstate. Very neat stop — saw lots of old vehicles in artifacts. Would definitely recommend to stop.

If you appreciate antique cars, juke boxes, player pianos, signs, and antiques of all kinds DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE. It is a treasure trove packed with rare items from yesteryear. Nice people who really care about you and your experience. Would definitely go again!

I was pleasantly surprised to find the Pioneer Auto Museum had so much more than just autos. While it had plenty of vintage autos and motorcycles, it also had sveral buildings full of old toys, firearms, business equipment and much more. We spent a couple hours enjoying the antiques. Overall it exceeded my expectations. The Giesler family has spent several decades collecting these treasures. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A fantastic collection of many rare and early and classic cars! All the tractors, historic country church, one room school, old signs, tools, toys, an amazing collection of cars I’ve never seen before or heard of previously!

We had fun touring this museum. The kids did a scavenger hunt which made it fun for the kids. The owners were really nice.

Stopped in hoping to see a nice auto museum. They have a lot of cars, but they are dusty, stored in out buildings, and you can only walk by the front of them - not all the way around. This is set up as a village where you walk from one building to the next. Some buildings are so full of old stuff that you really can't see what's there. I felt like we were 20 years too late. This may have been a special stop back then, but it has lost its glow. Still ok to stop for an hour and stretch your legs.

If you like old stuff, this is really worth the stop. It's a collection of just about anything you can imagine. There are cars for days, motorcycles, signs, old machines, and other Americana that is just neat to see. It you like watching American Pickers, you will feel like you're on that show while you're walking through. The staff are some of the nicest, and most helpful people I've ever met.
