General Info

Remember when you were a child and you put up a train at Christmas or saw a train display in a store window? It's like that every day here. The museum includes O-, HO-, N-, G- and TY-gauge layouts. Many of the layouts have been donated to the Museum for preservation and sharing with others. We use them, along with our original construction to tell the story of railroading in American history, especially the impact on westward expansion. The Children's Train Experience has been designed with the younger enthusiast in mind. In this room they can play with the wooden trains, watch train videos, read books about trains, draw on the chalkboard and color train pictures. We have a Railroad Research Center with a wide range of information on railroads, history and railroad modeling. Our Recycled Railroad allows us to sell donated model train materials at affordable prices to help support Museum programs.Remember when you were a child and you put up a train at Christmas or saw a train display in a store window?
