Great piece of transportation history.

This is a great place to visit if you like old trucks, and history about them. The downside is that there is very little hands on. Our son is legally blind and while he enjoyed hearing about the trucks, he could not tactically feel anything...More

Awesome place to visit.

This place was great lots of trucks and historical information on the trucking industry. The gift shop was nice. It is located next to the Iowa 80 truck stop which is also a great spot to visit.

If you like trucks at all...

Don’t miss this place! Exhibits are beautifully set up and informational materials are excellent. This old trucker and his 8 y/o grandson spent almost 2 hrs here.

Learning about the trucks

Very well displayed and very interesting to learn the history of trucks. I really liked the Bandag Bandit and learning about it

Thank cjaschek

We are so glad you enjoyed your visit. It would have been fun to see the Bandag Bandit run on the Salt Flats when it broke the landspeed record back in it's day!
