Murdo, South Dakota - Pioneer Auto Show

This is another museum that started out as a private collection and turned into something huge. There's an amazing amount of stuff to look at, and the food in the diner is great. There are over 30 buildings, including a "Prairie Town" that has buildings collected from around the area. Like many "collection" museums, it's not the Smithsonian or some intensely curated place. This is a collection of collections (over 60 of them), which is both amusing and fascinating. [Troye Kauffman, 01/11/2008]

We stayed overnight in the hotel next to the Auto Museum and had to check it out before we got back on I-90. I could have spent all day there, but we had to go. I liked the old train caboose from the 1870's and a replica of The Duke's General Lee. The Murdo Auto Mueseum is definitely a must see along I-90. I can't wait to check it out again.

It has been reported that the Murdo Auto Show, Murdo SD, kicks serious ass. This fascinating attraction, easily accessible to I-90, features a funeral hack from the 1800's and a Mercury leadsled. Plus for the finicky it has Two(count 'em) BMW Isettas.As you can probably tell, I love this joint. It's even more fun than the Corn Palace in Mitchell. [Eric Helmke, 03/26/1997]

By I-90, plenty of signs. This place is a don't miss for anyone who remotely likes old cars. Plenty of kitsch, but really delivers the goods. Family owned and developed with a real love for all cars evident. I visited last on or about August 1 1996." [Duner Tor, 11/08/1996]

[RA: We prefer Death Cars, but next time we're in Murdo, we'll stop in again to see what's new.]
