When are our seasons for the museum?
Currently we are a seasonal operation. We are open for Summer Season beginning the Friday before Memorial day (late May) through August and then weekends in September. Our Holiday Season begins the day after Thanksgiving and runs into early January. We are typically open for all major holidays that fall during these dates; it’s best to always check our website for the exact schedule.
Are you worried about the cold weather?
The Railroad Interpretive Center is outdoors; it’s fun to explore the historical equipment inside and out, and read the informational signs. Even if it’s cold outside, you’ll be plenty warm inside the Visitor Center & Gift Shop and the two model train rooms, where you can also take part in the Scavenger Hunt. You may go from outside to inside as you please!
