“founded in 1965”
Experience life on the Iowa frontier through the vintage exhibits and living history at the museum. A pioneer village with a one-room school house, log cabin, old jail, blacksmith shop. Demonstrations of pioneer crafts and trades during special event days. Call ahead for schedule. The Kinney Pioneer Museum is open May through September of each year. Hours of operation are 1:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M., Tuesday through Sunday. Special arrangements can be made for other times. The museum holds 18,000 square feet of exhibits that preserve the history and traditions of North Central Iowa and surrounding area.
This is the kind of charming little museum you only discover in small towns. Lots of great exhibits including a full pioneer village. They even have actors come in and fill the village during special events.
Their hours come and go very quickly, but they're really helpful and accommodating, so you can always call them and they;re happy to open up a little early or stay open a little later.
Amazing small town museum! So much wonderful history of the North Iowa area!
