- Harold Warp's Pioneer Village is a great museum that most people have never heard of. Featuring over 50,000 artifacts of Americana, a person could spend days enjoying this museum. Unfortunately it appears that the glory days of this museum, built in 1953, are in the past. paint is peeling, roofs are rotting and it seems that the budget is extremely tight. Visit this museum while you can. Located 12 miles south of Interstate 70 near Kearney, Nebraska, this is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

I visited this place in 1973. Had a real nice restaurant in front and a motel in back. Good memories.
We planing a visit on Aug 10 2022 …this will be our second visit
Wow, this is amazing 😀 It was hard to find on a map but I did! Now it's on my list of places to see 👍
My family bought the Warp cottage on Mackinaw Island… he put “H. Warp” on EVERYTHING!!! They left the entire contents of the house due to the cost of shipping off the island..
He was absolutely neat! His son Skip(Harold Jr.) left quite a legacy with the staff of the island..
I visited here as a kid in the early 80s. At the time, we lived in Grand Island, Nebraska, which has a really cool grounds similar to this and museum building called Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer. The grounds consists of a small town made up of old houses and shops brought from all over Nebraska. There is a general store, blacksmith shop, school house, the home Henry Fonda was born in, and a real working locomotive that you can ride on.
Thank you for making this video! I am (distantly) related to Harold Warp, and have been to this museum before. Very cool to virtually revisit it!
My Great Grandmother(Betty Warp) was married to the little boy(Richard Warp) on the original flex o glass ad picture. He was the son of Harold Warps' brother(Edward Warp). Very interesting story!
We live near PV and have visited many times. Thank you for this excellent video.
This place looks cool. It’s on my list of places to visit if I ever get to Nebraska!
I am 62, and when I was a little girl, I remember the peddlers wagon coming to my grandparents house, you could buy bologna in long rolls. My grandpa would slice me huge slices to eat. It was so good.
Thank you for your video. I have been there a dozen times or more and enjoy each visit. The lack of funds to keep it going is so sad, I can see it going down hill. America will loose a true visual history of our progress when it finally has to close it's doors. I can only hope I am dead and gone when it happens.
I am gonna have to check that out that sounds like an awesome place to visit Being from Wyoming I thought it would be great
Slow your camera down.
We spent two days there and barely scratched the surface.
A go and see location in history.......video doesn't do it justice.
i have been there 3 times and must go back again... please donate a buck or two... thanks a lot...:)
Perhaps a healthy infusion of government largess ... cannot think of a more worthy tax expenditure than to keep this maintained.
