Bonanzaville

We spent the day today at Bonanzaville- a North Dakota historic village. They have more artifacts in one place than I've ever seen. It is an entire "town" with every building filled with furniture, cooking utensils, clothes, cars, airplanes, tools...everything...from the late 1800's and early 1900's. It is run by volunteers. We saw the trains, sleeping cars, what a really nice house would look like in that time period- as well as what a not so nice house would look like. We also visited the jail, fire station, blacksmith, farm equipment, many old well cared for cars, buggies, creamery, law enforcement museum, printer, bank- everything that you would find in an average town- and it was all authentic.
