Who is Wheels Across the Prairie?


Wheels Across the Prairie is an organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich history of transportation in our area. Our mission is to educate the public about the evolution of travel and its impact on society. From horse-drawn carriages to modern electric vehicles, we celebrate the innovations that have transformed how we move.


Our collection features over 200 artifacts, including vintage vehicles, photographs, and historical documents that weave together the story of transportation in our community. For instance, visitors can view a 1920s Studebaker a symbol of early American automotive culture, or a collection of photographs highlighting the opening of the first highway in our region back in 1925. We believe that understanding our past is key to shaping a brighter future, and we strive to make history accessible and engaging for everyone.


Daily Insights and Engagement


Throughout November, we invite you to check in each day for fresh insights and stories from Wheels Across the Prairie. Each day will focus on a unique theme, showcasing different aspects of our collection and the broader context of transportation history.

The Importance of Preservation


Preserving our transportation history is crucial for future generations. As we navigate a rapidly changing world, understanding the past can provide essential lessons. At Wheels Across the Prairie, we are committed to safeguarding our collection and ensuring it stays accessible to all.

You will learn about techniques and practices we use to care for our artifacts, such as climate-controlled storage and routine maintenance, which help preserve our collection for future generations.
