"Ted the host was very friendly. The museum was decked out in Halloween stuff, a few days after ( not so great).. Lots of railroad memorabilia. Loved the old building and its history."
"Small but very informative railroad museum. No actual engines or cars on site. The staff is very friendly and friendly. Limited hours. Do not confuse the Heritage Museum(yellow caboose in front ) with the railroad museum. Child friendly."
