We are currently seeking volunteers who are passionate about sharing the stories of American railroading, enthusiastic about historic preservation and interpretation, and enjoy working with others.  

We ask that our volunteers be able to give a minimum of (1) 6-hour shift per month for 1 year. Typically, volunteers at the Museum work a weekly shift.

I love that the museum is what remains of the old train yard and the number and variety of train cars is remarkable.
