What a lovely time-machine stroll back in the days of old! While we stayed at the Mile O Campground, we took advantage of our time touring the Walter Wright Pioneer Village. It sure gave us a sense of appreciation seeing how the folks lived their simple lives back then with their families & livestocks. It's definitely a place where they left us all footprints from the past and reminders for us all to appreciate our modern days possessions and the vast privileges in how we live our lives nowadays!
We were staying at the Mile 0 Campground and went to the Pioneer Village to explore. What a great place! There is so much history here. You can spend hours walking around and viewing all the buildings and equipment. Even if you aren't staying here, you should stop in and visit. The entrance is in through the office. They do ask for a donation, which is worth it.
Really neat place if you like historical buildings and materials. They have everything from common household goods to appliances, drugstore items, doctor office, barber shops and farm equipment. That's just some of it! Spent about 2 hours exploring, but could have spent more time. My favorite place was the school house back by the church! Admission is by donation which we stuck to $10/family since that was common in other museums we had visited in the area. Really enjoyed this place and would recommend a visit.
We camped at the adjacent RV park and wandered over to check this out. Fair warning - we like museums. This place was great! We spent a couple hours to do half and went back after lunch. This place has a lot for museum fans. Old buildings, period furnishings, interesting vehicles and farm equipment, and the best display about the Alaskan Highway. If this description appeals, you should definitely check it out!
It's a 1.5 hour musuems don't miss so.
