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