Explore two captivating model train exhibits that delight all ages, nine pieces of authentic railroad equipment and historic buildings (including a real steam locomotive with an operating whistle!), plus our charming Visitor Center and Gift Shop.

We reopen for the Holiday Season the day after Thanksgiving, welcoming visitors through the first Sunday in January. Regular hours are Wednesday–Sunday, 10 am–4 pm, with special extended hours and additional open dates during December’s holiday weeks.

As is our tradition, on the day after Thanksgiving (that’s November 26, 2021), our museum will be open for the holidays through January 10, 2022. Come experience the magic of Christmas this holiday season!

Haunted Train for Halloween

We had a blast-and-a-half spooking kids of all ages. We were surprised how many young ones got on board the train, and we quickly figured out how to downplay the scariness level when needed.

1922 Steam Locomotive Arrived October 8th!

The 1922 WestSide Lumber #8 3-truck Shay was relocated from the Royal Gorge Route Railroad in Canon City, CO to the museum’s Interpretive Center! It was transported by truck to Granby and then a crane service assisted with positioning the locomotive onto the display track.

September 4th Crawfish Boil

Thanks to those who joined us for our Louisiana-style Crawfish Boil on Saturday, September 4th, 2021. We hope everyone enjoyed the food, activities and music!

We couldn’t have done it without the hard work and hustle of our staff, board and friends! We are very grateful to them and would like to thank everyone who helped.

And a special thanks to Fontenot’s for providing the delicious food and Diane Ehlert with Elev8 Your Cause for being our event planner and marketer.

We hope to see everyone again this holiday season with your visiting family
and friends!
