This was a super spontaneous decision but Im so glad that we visited! So much interesting info! Loved seeing how the old pumps worked in the water works museum. We enjoyed admiring all the old engineering and trying to figure it out without reading and asking questions but anytime we had a question the lady was right there and was full of useful info. I appreciate the volunteers and people who donate that keep this place running.

Despite the museums small size, it has lots of interesting things and is very informative. And its free. Well worth taking out the time in the middle of the day for a visit, along with the waterworks museum on the same property. It conveyed very well the feel of passenger train travel before air travel.

Small free museum (donations accepted and appreciated). Interesting photos of the local rail. Good collection of paraphernalia, could use a dusting.

This is in combination with the water works museum. Very cool place. It’s a self guided tour but there was a volunteer there with tons of information.

Fairly small, one train car type room; but packed with tons of interesting historical artifacts, photos, facts and details posted and displayed. The room is welcoming/inviting. My 9 year old granddaughter enjoyed immensely. The best part was the giant display at the end. Children of all ages (myself included) enjoy pushing the button to bring the electric toy train alive and watch it race all around a beautiful, miniature city with mountains and bridges, and a scenic background. We went to the Waterworks Museum next door first, and found both museums interesting and enjoyable. Admission is free to both, with optional donation boxes urgently available.
