greyhound museum

Very good collection of Greyhound memorabilia, much more than I had ever imagined existed. A great history of the business through out the years. It was very interesting how it all got started, with some Model T's carrying the miners back and forth from their camps to the mines. Great business man involved in that idea. If it doesn't work one way try another idea!! It was fun to see how the comfort of the buses has changed through the years. Worth spending some time here.

We traveled to Hibbing to see this museum today and it was closed for the season even though the website and brochure indicated it is open till the end of September. Extremely disappointed since we were looking forward to it and made a special trip. They reopen in May 2015.

I didn't know they had that transport museum. I only take Greyhound discovery pass unlimited for 3 weeks around $350 travel around the country with my teens daughter. We had a good experience to explore different places with that pass. Much better the one like 'europe line pass' in Europe. (they only allowed one stop each countries and pay 4 euro per stop, pretty deceive in some point.) I heard they don't run the pass on-line . Hope they can run again. As a ex-museum worker, I will like to take my dad to visit this museum.

We had no idea how much Greyhound Memorabilia there was in the world but they have a great collection! We were there for less than an hour but it was fun. The staff was very helpful if anyone had any questions. You can get on the old buses which was pretty cool.

Took our granddaughter (13 at the time) to the museum--she really enjoyed seeing the busses. I grew up on the North Shore and would ride the bus down to Duluth to take accordion lessons-I was in 3rd grade--so this museum brought back memories. Anyone that ever road the Greyhound would enjoy it. In 1963 my girlfriend and I went to CA by bus. I just found the schedule that Greyhound did up for us. We left Duluth, stayed overnight in Salt Lake, then to San Francisco. Down to Los Angeles. The trip home was Long-but we had fun and very enjoyable.

Interesting to learn how the Greyhound Bus company started, but the exhibits weren't that great. It did not meet my expectations.

Lot of variety if interested in bus history. Quite the collection. Located in the historic old Hibbing. Stop by and check out other points of interest in town.

This site provides an excellent variety of era Greyhound buses. You can climb aboard and try out the seats, and of course you can get some great photos. If you've every traveled the big buses this one is a good choice to spend an hour or so, but combine it with one or two of the other attractions in Hibbing.

I was unsure what to expect. Our three-state trip did include other key historical transportation sites (The Henry Ford in Dearborn, the Ford Piquette Avenue plant site, the Sault Ste. Marie Soo Locks, the Duluth Aerial Bridge, the Mackinac Bridge, etc.) so the Greyhound added another dimension to that.

This is a very interesting museum for anyone who is or has been involved with the coach industry. My husband drives for Greyhound in Australia and he absolutely loved it. Well worth the visit.

My husband and I really weren't sure what to expect to see at a place devoted to the Greyhound Bus. But what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! We arrived around 10:40 and saw a sign saying it opened at 11:00. But a lady inside saw us and said to come inside anyway. The admission is reasonable in cost for what is offered. You enter the exhibit by listening to a short introduction. Then as you move through the exhibit, you trigger other recorded explanations. There is a dated video to watch while sitting in actual bus seats inside a simulated "bus". It was a good overview of how the company evolved from its start to about the mid 80's. After that, you can see several versions of the actual buses and go inside them. Even the restrooms have pictures on the walls of ads for the company through the years. If you are into nostalgia, or even if you aren't, I think you will enjoy this little gem of a museum about the iconic bus company that most people probably have some connection to. It's worth the detour to see!

A lot of buses parked inside and outside, perhaps there are some types that you rode.Nice display inside of badges, uniforms, bus models.A lot of smaller bus models for sale, that would make a gift to a younger child.

No notice on door that the Museum was closed, only message on door stated open @ 11 a.m. We waited until 11 went back still closed, called contact number & found out the museum was closed for season. The message should have been on the door

We went to this museum with a nine person group from 7 to 48. The guys liked the restored busses along with the kids ( they can get inside them ). Ladies did not enjoy very much of this one. Prices are fair, it's interesting, especially for anyone who enjoys transportation history or local history. Not bad but not great.

I was not too sure what I would find at a Bus Museum, but this turned out to be an interesting stop. There are several fully restored buses that you can get in to see how things have changed over the years. Lots of signs and displays illustrate the history of the Greyhound Bus Company. The biggest drawback to the whole museum is the fact that many of the signs were not proof read before they were put up, and now someone has gone in with a red marker and corrected them--just makes the place look tacky.
