Stop there if you pass through. Very friendly curator. You can see an original Rail Operator Manual from the 50’s. Locally hand crafted wood trains are fantastic. You can see the original Operator’s Control Board.

The Director, Steve is very personable and knowledgeable. What a great museum, by mainline tracks, with an HO train track experience inside. A volunteer, Josiah, is an awesome train enthusiast.
