A small but very informational train museum. You can drive a train in a simulator and see lots of artifacts in the museum. Kids as well as adults would enjoy the train museum.

Our group of two parents and two young adult sons visited the train museum and tour during our trip to the area. The museum is restored well and tells the history of train travel. The model train display has great detail and enjoyable to view.
It was an interesting peek into that history to tour the trains. Our sons would have had a different level of interest when they were young.
Unfortunately, the air conditioning on 2 of the train cars was not working on the day we visited. With temperatures 90+, it was not pleasant to stand inside the cars with 10+ people, though that does give perspective for how hot it may get with the engine! The heat may also be why the video displays were not working.
A suggestion for the tour guide would be to speak louder or use a microphone and stay ahead of the group to lead. We give grace to our guide as we understand she is less experienced and our group was her largest up to this point.
The train museum can be part of your "planes, trains , and automobiles" trip in the area if you choose!

Damon was an excellent guide who thoroughly explained the historic train cars we toured and his personal connection to the postal train car! The museum also features wonderful history.
