Wheels Transportation Museum


We are a volunteer run, non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve history, educate the public in the history of transportation, and provide our visitors with an opportunity to experience travel as it used to be.

The Wheels Museum will be located on the site of the historic Santa Fe Railroad Shops in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. Built in 1914, the Albuquerque shops serviced steam locomotives operating on the Santa Fe Railroad.

The Wheels Museum will become an attraction to countless thousands of visitors while at the same time provide the citizens of Albuquerque and New Mexico with a new and exciting place to shop, enjoy a concert, have dinner  and - most importantly - to re-visit and learn again about a very special part of their New Mexico heritage.

Wheels Museum board meetings are held the second Wednesday of the  month and are open to the public. Please call Leba Freed at 505-243-6269 if you wish to attend in order to confirm the time and place.
