Eastern Shore Railway Museum — Attraction in Parksley

The people who run the museum are always friendly and up to share the wealth of knowledge they have about the Eastern Shore's Railway system.

This is well...

If the visitors could grow in numbers there could even be train rides similar to Strasburg Railroad- my dream for this place. Keep up the good work the good...
