Reviews
This compact railroad museum offers numerous restored buildings, railroad cars and locomotives. The museum exhibits are are well marked and cover a broad spectrum of the railroad industry. The property is well cared for and the museum encourages exploration by young and old alike. Visitors can take a turn on a real Armstrong turntable or ride an old fashioned hand car. The museum staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
