San Bernardino History and Railroad Museum

"Fun local spot. Took my family there and spent about 1 hr or less to check out the museum of the depot. Very educational for all ages to see. The employees were full of historical education, welcoming and nice. It was also very well kept. Would recommend to educate others for San Bernardino landmarks."

"Worker lacked professionalism and uncontrollable temper. My children was yelled by an elderly man. Put up appropriate signs and blockage if you do not want visitors to access certain restricted areas. Create clear boundaries. It's a small museum. It's not difficult to see if a restricted chain is missing. Overall poor experience for a supposedly family friendly museum. Do not recommended unless you do not want to deal with grumpy elderly men."

"This relatively small museum gives its attendees an interesting opportunity to learn about the history of the city of San Bernardino. It is housed in the San Bernardino Train Depot now used by the Metrolink network operated by Amtrak. This train station opened in 1918 and was the biggest one west of the Mississippi at the time. Please note that this free museum is only open on Saturdays from 10:00AM to 3:00PM and has a separate entrance just to the left of main depot entrance on the Westside of the building when facing it from the street."

"We are very happy to have a chance to visit this small but full of railroad history museum. We are welcomed by a kind lady who introduced us a senior museum narrator. He’s a very kind person and he explained bit by bit the history and significance of almost all exhibits, even in and out of this current still-used rail station. It largely increased our knowledge on the development of railroad history in LA region and beyond. Thanks for keeping such a wonderful historical site."
