At the museum, you'll discover an extensive compilation of artifacts, photographs, documents and equipment from one of our nation's most ambitious endeavors - constructing the transcontinental railroad.

Great museum run by volunteers! Kids enjoyed it though there weren't any full size trains for them to actually get in, they still thought it was pretty cool.

It is free to go here and you can walk around and read the history behind the different exhibits and the history of the railroad its self. I spent about an hour here and got to see pretty much everything. There is a gift shop as well but I didn't include a trip there on this visit

Wanted to go in but not open during the week. Was really looking forward to it. But I guess I'll never get to go now.
