Plan on spending time here, there is so much to see! I didn't know what to expect- maybe a few train models and displays.... There are layouts as big as a small house, a rideable passenger steam train and people who enjoy answering questions. ANNNNDDDDD it's free! (Donations accepted). CLOSES AT NOON.

Very interesting museum. Model trains, vintage cars and memorabilia. Small train fun to ride. Wished they had the large locomotive available to see.

Very interesting collection of railroad memorabilia. Several model railroad layouts of different scales. The volunteers were very friendly and provided a lot of historical information. We spent more than 2 hours there. Highly recommended!

Equal parts curiosity and nostalgia and a fantastic way to while away a few hours. Make sure to stick around for a story or two; the docents are charming and incredibly knowledgeable. And despite what some may think, no one's too old for a ride on the indoor train. ;) Donations accepted.
