The Pioneer Village features a Granary, a Country Store, and a Log School House. A Sporting Shed contains antique hunting and fishing equipment. A new building, the barn, contains old boats, and will house changing displays about the area's culture and life. The Johnson House, adjacent to the Museum, is a 100+ year old home furnished in an early 1900's style.
