There are some places you can visit where you feel as though you stepped back in time as soon as you step through the door. The Pioneer Auto Museum in Murdo is just such a place. If you love history or cars (or both!) this place is pure heaven.
The Pioneer Auto Museum opened in 1954, and now houses more than 300 vintage cars, motorcycles and tractors.

The vintage cars here date back all the way to the early 1900s. This 1907 Middleby is gorgeous, isn’t it?

The custom-painted 1976 Harley-Davidson that belonged to Elvis Presley is another big draw at the museum. It’s one of 60 vintage bikes here.
