Pioneer Trails Museum — Attraction in Bridgeport

If you visit this charming little town museum, you can look up my grandfather's phone number from before Bridgeport switched to automated direct dialing. It had three digits. The phone book is with the old town switchboard--they kept using it into the 1970s until the last operator was ready to retire.

There's a lot of stuff like that: items that are witnesses to the history of technology, as it related to local history. My other favorite exhibit is the Bridgeport News-Blade's old Linotype, which you can examine up close--I'd never had the opportunity to check one out in that...

Wow! What a fantastic experience! Jim is so knowledgeable about the whole collection and extremely welcoming. The collection he has is nothing short of absolutely incredible and covers so many different parts of American history from wars to kitchen utensils and everything in between! Would definitely recommend if you’re near Bridgeport or even to make the drive from scottsbluff. You won’t be dissapointed. We will see...

Wonderful small museum. Organized well so you can enjoy each small presentation. The guide did a great job talking about town personages and the unique items on display. Free will offering - so give them...
