Story

The Pioneer Museum was established in 1969 and opened its doors in 1971 through the dedication, leadership, and inspiration of Curren Farmer, a native of Virginia but a resident of Troy, AL since childhood. Curren Farmer had three careers: a teacher at Troy University, contractor and founder/director of the Pike Pioneer Museum. His wife, Margaret Pace Farmer, was a celebrated author and historian.

This place is a good 2 hour or so activity that is both fun, interesting, and educational. It's pretty amazing how many old artifacts they have, although they do need to do a significantly better job with signs telling about the items. It will be a job though as there are thousands of items. The main building has dozens of displays of all tyoes of things used in pioneer life. One of the buildings outside you will find is a general store. But, nothing is for sale. It is a general store from years ago with original items still on display! Very cool. There's also a nature trail and many other buildings. Groupon can save you about 60-70% on tickets. Definitely worth a visit once or twice.
