This was our first road trip with our new car, the all electric Mustang Mach-E, and it required more planning on our part. Gone were the days of just pulling off anywhere for some gas, no, we had to plan our route carefully around charging stations. While looking for chargers Pat stumbled upon a place dedicated to one of my favorite animals – the Donkey History Museum. The museum is part of the larger Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue, a project that provides safe places for abused, abandoned, and wild donkeys with multiple locations across the country.

Inside visitors can learn how donkeys were integral to westward expansion, military efforts, and the issues surrounding wild burros across the globe. It’s also filled with adorable donkey figures, paintings, collectables, and more, all of which have been donated by donkey lovers.

They also have a selection of donkey goodies for sale, as well as one of my favorite types of souvenirs, a pressed penny machine!

Get your ass educated at the Donkey History Museum, located at 355 W. Mesquite Boulevard, in Mesquite, Nevada. For hours and to learn more about the Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue, visit their website.
