Only was on the outside,it was closed when we'd stopped. Nicely painted and well maintained depot,with a restored wooden Seaboard caboose, unrestored heavyweight passenger car,and an big industrial locomotive, possibly a Whitcomb? Worth a few minute stop if in the area, probably more if it's open.

Comprehensive display of Lake Wales and Polk County. My family and I enjoyed our visit. I plan to return when I have time to scrutinize the information presented in the exhibits. It is located next to the historic downtown district.

Nice little museum with an eclectic collection. They are trying to refurbish basically everything! They really need $$$! Would love to give them 5 stars but it is what it is! Caboose is beautiful if you like cabooses!
