If you love trains and railroads, you're gonna want to stop here. A great spot filled to the brim with exhibits all about the history of trains on the Cape. The best part is the interactive component, which makes it super fun for kids and adults. They have a telegram machine, old signal phones, old ticket stampers, a train horn you can sound, and a caboose parked out back you can explore mad get a real feel for train loving. Amazing to consider how important trains were to the development of our country and how now they are so backseat.

Fantastic little museum with interesting trinkets and a well-informed curator. I've never used a telegraph before, so the interactive one they had to try was so cool. Also, they have a retired and restored caboose that you can get inside and tour. The video inside the caboose did a great job covering the history of the railroad and was well edited to be thorough, yet concise. Overall, this was a quaint short stop that captured the Chatham spirit.

Museum is closed for the season until mid-June but you can still see some really cool-looking exhibits thorough the windows and climb on the vintage caboose behind the museum. Looks like it would be a great place to visit during the season when you can go inside!

Unique little place, with tons of information about the railroads. The caboose is open for walkthroughs and the grounds are well kept. Unique in a sweet sort of way.

Some cool railroad lamps and telegraph items. They have a nice collection of stationary model railroad trains both per and post WW2 including American Flyer.

If you have a little one who loves trains, this is a great spot to go to on a cloudy day. Plus, there is an awesome playground across the street!
