Pioneer Village, located on 16 acres (65,000 m2), contains over 50 original buildings from around the county, related to life in the late 19th century.

Other features include: Lori Brock Children's Discovery Center, Black Gold exhibit, and Neon Plaza.

[1] One of the most recognizable structures at the museum is the Beale Memorial Clock Tower, located on the lawn in front of it.

Later, there were other additions to the museum, which included Lori Brock Children's Discovery Center, and Black Gold exhibit.

There is almost one of every type of building from the time period, including: one room schoolhouse, church, photography studio, train station, hotel, courthouse, and assay office.

According to the museums website, some the highlights include, “simulated travel under the sea in a diving bell to learn how oil is formed, an exploration into oil discovery, recovery and its transformation into many products we use today, and the many dangers of asphaltum mining straight from the mouth of an old-timer.”[6] In recent years, neon signs for the county's now-defunct historic eateries, retail stores and service shops were restored for display in Neon Plaza.

[7][8] The outdoor location is used for company gatherings, private parties, nonprofit fundraisers and other galas.

It is the only historic building original to its location; all others were moved later (although the Beale Memorial Clock Tower was rebuilt in front of the museum in 1964).
