"One small step for man,
One giant leap for mankind..."
Astronaut Neil Armstrong, July 1969

In the last one hundred and seventy years, thousands of small steps in technology have indeed been giant leaps forward, impacting our everyday lives. These small steps have been taken by countless men and women from every walk of life. The Harold Warp Pioneer Village preserves and highlights many of these small steps that were giant leaps for their time. We invite you to join us as we recognize the dramatic impact yesteryear's advancements have made in our lives.

"For thousands of years man lived quite simply.
Then, like a sleeping giant, our world was awakened.
In a mere hundred and twenty years of eternal
time, man progressed from open hearths, grease
lamps and ox carts to television, super-sonic speed
and atomic power. We have endeavored to show
you the actual development of this astounding
progress as it was unfolded by our forefathers
and by ourselves."

Harold Warp
