Greyhound Bus Museum, Transport museum in Hibbing, United States
This facility displays eleven buses from different decades showing how long-distance bus travel developed across North America, alongside photographs and personal items from travelers. The collection documents how the size, comfort, and technology of these vehicles changed over time.
The story starts with a local entrepreneur who began a simple transportation business in the 1920s and gradually built it into the nation's largest intercity bus company. The museum itself was founded in 1989 to preserve this journey from modest beginnings to a major national transportation network.
The collection shows how long-distance bus travel became an everyday option for regular people and connected distant communities. Exhibits reveal how passengers from all walks of life used these buses to visit family members or explore new places.
The facility sits next to the main highway and operates from May through September, so check specific dates before planning your visit. You can explore the collection in about two hours, and parking is available near the entrance.
The entrance passes through a tunnel where audio recordings of a 1914 automobile engine immediately immerses visitors in the era of early motorization. One exhibit focuses specifically on the company's role during World War II, when buses served military operations and civilian emergencies.
