The Iron Range is the birthplace of the bus industry in the
United States. It all began in
Hibbing with one 'Hupmobile" and two enterprising men who began transporting miners from one town to another. Eventually, the small local business evolved into the country's widely recognized Greyhound Bus Company.
The
Greyhound
Bus
Origin
Center traces the history of the bus industry from its humble beginnings using pictorial displays, hundreds of artifacts and memorabilia, audio-visual presentation and a VCR show of "The Greyhound Story - from Hibbing to Everywhere."
A diorama of WWII illustrates how Greyhound contributed to the war effort, and museum displays include a number of vintage buses, such as a 1927 White, 1936 Super Coach, 1947 "Battle of Britain", 1947 ACF "Brill", 1948 Silverside, 1955 Courier 95, 1056 Scenicruiser, 1964 GMC PD-4106, 1967 "Buffalo", 1969 "Buffalo, 1977 MC1-8 and a 1982 MC1-9.
