Join us for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the restoration of an American icon — the American Freedom Train No. 1!
Enjoy a train ride along the first mile of commercial track in the United States to our Restoration Shop. Here, you’ll learn about the history of this beloved locomotive and the meticulous work being done to preserve it for future generations. You can capture this historic moment through plenty of photo opportunities. Then you’ll return by train to the Museum, where you can explore the rest of our collection at your leisure. As a special thank you, all tour participants will receive a commemorative gift!
For those joining us for the Fourth of July, we’ll have a special celebration after the tour – details forthcoming.
