Ghost Dancing, the Blue Highways Van

Ghost Dancing, the van that local author William Least Heat-Moon (born William Trogdon) drove during the journey that resulted in the best-selling book Blue Highways, has been one of the Museum of Anthropology's most well-known artifacts since its donation in 1994. The 1975 half-ton Econoline van is housed at the Museum Support Center and is available for viewing by appointment.
