The Pioneer Museum of Alabama has 15,000 square feet of indoor exhibits from farm implements to musical instruments. 17 buildings are on the grounds including a one-room school house, log church, covered bridge and a general store
The Pioneer Museum was established in 1969 and opened its doors in 1971 through the dedication, leadership, and inspiration of Curren Farmer, a native of Virginia but a resident of Troy, AL since childhood. Curren Farmer had three careers: a teacher at Troy University, contractor and founder/director of the Pike Pioneer Museum. His wife, Margaret Pace Farmer, was a celebrated author and historian.
