Drove by during the work week and decided to take the family. Wife, daughter and son had been there with school functions before. Myself and the toddler had not been there. We loved the train ride and went on it twice (2 different times). My son and I would like to become a volunteer so we picked up a form from Ms. Marie. Wife and I loved the super cold water fountain, it felt very refreshing after walking the hot summer heat. Will return frequently. Would love to help with the restoration of the old cars.
Good little museum out in the boonies! Entrance fee is very reasonable, the train cars need a bit more TLC, but I suppose it would be better tended if there were more volunteers. Model trains are well kept, and the restored vehicles (fire engines, cars, etc.) look fantastic. Will drop by again when time permits!
My grandson and I love trains and there is every kind of train imaginable here. Our favorite section is the Garden Railroad. Great photo ops and a real running train makes the day memorable. We signed up as members!
For me it was disappointing. I have been to many train museums and I expected more. I went hoping to see full size trains from many years ago. Well, other that the one you ride, there is one engine, a coal car, two passenger cars and a caboose. That is it. They are cool but the other train museums I have visited have at least 10 train cars to visit and some have had many more. The antique cars were cool but again, they were very limited. Now, if you go to see MODEL trains, you will be very pleased as they are a lot of them. One last comment. We went with a person in a wheel chair and it was very difficult even though the person did not go in the train cars. The train ride was easy enough but the rest was rough. There is handicapped parking at the upper level building but we weren't told that until we pushed the wheel chair all the way up the hill.
My father enjoyed this quite a bit. Old Pullman cars were interesting. Most is wheelchair accessible - if you are up to muscling through gravel. I was, but many would find it a challenge. It's staffed by volunteers who were friendly and helpful. They could clearly use more $$$ and staff to work on restoration and maintenance. We did the train ride. Kids will love the trains and models. Great place for kid birthday party. Model RR are impressive.
