Conrad Transportation and Historical Museum Local History and Transportation Also, visit our other exhibits like the Mutual Mercantile and Blacksmith Shop.

The Museum's transportation display starts with a 1904 horseless carriage and evolves into a collection of up to ten cars of various makes and vintages. The local history includes a showcase of a Drug Store with many of the first prescriptions written in Conrad dating back to the early 1900′s including prescriptions written for “spirits of fermenti” during the prohibition era. You can travel back in time and get a glimpse of life on a homestead inside a one room Pioneer Homestead Cabin, which includes a Majestic stove, Spinning Wheel, Wrought Iron bed complete with feather mattress and quilt, and many more items of interest.
