Description From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Bonanzaville, USA is a history museum complex in West Fargo, North Dakota.
Bonanzaville, the museum of the Cass County Historical Society, is made up of forty-seven buildings on 12 acres (49,000 m2), many of them are historic and from the region. These buildings have been moved to the museum grounds and now form a village setting. Most of the buildings have a special theme. Displays include a prairie church, a general store, a drug store, a fire station, a jail, and a schoolhouse.
There are also several newer buildings which have been constructed on the grounds including an aircraft museum and an automobile museum. Other exhibits include horse-drawn vehicles, firefighting vehicles and equipment, medical and dental equipment, a law enforcement museum, a telephone museum, and a newspaper printing press. Bonanzaville has several hundred thousand artifacts in their collections and on display.

Pioneer Village Exhibits:

We have 43 historic buildings and 400,000 artifacts.

Dahl Car Museum: A collection of vintage automobiles that spans from a 1904 Holzman Car to more modern examples. Many of these vehicles are still in working condition and are used in parades.

Eagles Air Museum: More than twenty aircraft are on display dating from 1911 to 1975. Showcased is “The Governor’s Plane,” a C-47 that was used in the D-Day invasion. The museum features many planes restored by Charles Klessig, author of My Highway in the Sky, which is for sale in the gift shop. Horse Drawn Vehicle Building: Buggies, wagons, drays, hitches, grain binders, and a replica Wells Fargo stagecoach are on display in this building. Of special note is the horse-drawn hearse from Fredrikson and Brakke funeral home of Davenport, ND.

Law Enforcement Museum: The Fargo Auxiliary Police Association joined with other law enforcement agencies to furnish and maintain the exhibits in this building.

Medical Display: This building displays a collection of medical and dental equipment from the Nineteenth Century. The house was donated by the Maier family.
