The Richmond Railroad Museum

What an absolutely wonderful hidden treasure in Richmond! We visited on a Saturday and found several of the gentlemen working there in the station master's quarters, singing happy birthday to one of their own.

Calvin gave us the full tour of the museum. He was very knowledgeable, shared many wonderful stories, and gave us a hands-on look at the development of the railway around Richmond.

The museum's collection is extensive and gives you a great feel for how important the railway systems have been to the area. We spent an hour touring the museum and really enjoyed our time there. Our 4 year old son was mesmerized by the stories, and even our 2 year old stayed focused!

I highly recommend the museum: warm, friendly staff, a great collection, and incredibly interesting stories, all in the historic building that once housed the train station.
