We left about 7:30 am from Milwaukee. Our destination for the day was Minden Nebraska, where Pioneer Village Museum is located.

We drove all day and arrived at Pioneer Village in the early evening. We camped at their campground. Our impressions of the place were a bit mixed. I think the museum has seen it’s better days, but it does have a huge collection of artifacts. While they have a lot of exhibits, most all of them have not been updated in 30 years. You could spend a ½ day here as we did, or well over a day if you really try and look at everything. I’d definitely suggest not staying at the hotel. We took a look at it and it was not clean and quite outdated. The restaurant was also unimpressive; I’d try and eat somewhere else if you can. The town is just 13 miles off the highway and just to the east of Kearney; which is a town of several thousand, so there are better options there. The campground was OK as campgrounds go and worked out fine. Overall I was glad we stopped there as it provided a good break in the drive out.
