This is so much more than just a museum! The Cass County Historical Society has put together a fantastic complex of historical building on this gigantic site! Every building has its own story with several dedicated to specific displays. One building houses law enforcement memorabilia. Another is dedicated to firefighters, their apparatus & lifestyle. Some of the building were moved to the site from all over the area! My favorite by far that the airplane building. It’s not got the most of the best displays but it’s the only place I’ve ever been able to walk through a C-47!! We were there for four hours and didn’t see it all. Well worth the price of admission. It’s a must for anyone interested in the history of the Red River Valley.

This place was really nice and we got to see the demonstrates. We love the blacksmiths and they even made something simple for us at our request for a souvenir. We were hungry when we went and the food truck and the ice cream weren't what we wanted but as we left we went into the girt shop and main building only to see that they had a big menu with a great selection beside the elevator This would have been perfect if it was set outside for everyone to see they would have sold such. As we were walking away another family saw the sign and said wow that would have been helpful for us to know. So put the big menu sign outside so everyone can see it and you will absolutely get plenty of people wanting exactly what you are serving.

Bonanzaville is amazing!! There are so many interesting things to see. They have all the building you expect to see in late 19th century America. They even have a car museum and old airplanes. I was enjoying looking at the first couple of buildings, before I realized how much there truly was to see. I had to pick up my pace or I wouldn't have time to see all the things that sounded interesting. You can easily spend the entire day there and not see everything. It's a great place to bring children too.

Fantastic historical village that was created from houses and buildings moved from different parts of North Dakota. Thousands of artifacts. Especially fun was the telephone and communication building. A blast from the past. Not to be missed when in Fargo. Great value with low cost admission. Fun for kids with full size trains to climb aboard and model railroad to name a few.

Went with a 4th grade field trip as a chaperone so we were on a time schedule. Beautiful day (might be a different experience with poor weather as there is walking outside). I enjoyed the exhibits with 'character' interaction, especially the German frontiersman and the old time store. It would be even better if there were this characters explaining things at every exhibit.

Best part was the telephone building. You can see the step by step exchange as you dial the phone.
