Our visit to the railroad museum was excellent! Herb provided us with a great explanation of the cars and artifacts within. The collection of railroad china is incredible.

A wonderful experience. I really enjoyed the enthusiasm of the owner and his son. We had a great tour of the exhibits and learned of other railroad memorabilia that they will have to view in the future. The museum has an excellent display of dinner service items from the golden age of rail travel. Not only do you get to view it but they have the story behind the pieces which really adds to the experience.

Great experience with a very personable and knowledgeable guide. For a small collection, it is bursting with intriguing items and historical significance. A definite must if you're able to stop by and love trains.
