did you know there is a Greyhound Bus Museum? It is open from late May to mid-September, and has outside exhibits of a 1921 Flag Stop Station and 1940 Art Deco Terminal


The Greyhound Bus Museum came from one man who stumbled upon the abandoned bus station in Hibbing, the birthplace of Greyhound

It took nearly 20 years to get funding from the state, but by then Nicolelli had a wealth of Greyhound memorabilia. There are badges, uniforms, awards (like the 1961 Gold Steering Wheel for Safe Driving) and of course, buses.

Greyhound had it's start with 2 guys, and a 1914 7 passenger Hupmobile they couldn't sell on their part time car sales job, so, instead they used it to haul miners on short trips from Alice to Hibbing. 15 cents one way, 25 cents round trip

  1. I've been there! Great museum. While in Hibbing you can also check out Bob Dylan's childhood home.
