Greyhound Bus Museum

From a failed car salesman to a transportation tycoon.

Eric Wickman immigrated to Hibbing, MN in pursuit of the American Dream. Like many great Americans, he found it only after repeated setbacks. Following being laid off from his job in the mines, Wickman attempted to become a car salesman for the Hupp Motor Car Company. Unable to sell enough vehicle to provide a living, Wickman pivoted to using the 7-seated Hupmobile to offer rides to his former colleagues. Wickman rapidly grew his small town business until his company was driving millions of people, billions of miles all across the world.

“Greyhound Bus Lines”. A name that conjures memories of family vacations, holiday travel, or homecomings for millions of Americans. At the Greyhound Bus Museum, we work to celebrate and preserve the history of this small town entrepreneur and the entire industry that started first on our streets.
