Wonderful people. Welcomed my son to climb on and explore all of the trains, as well as my little dog. They are doing a great job restoring everything. Had a good time, would return. I recommend following the driving directions on their website. GPS gets confused by the location.

Saw a lot of cool engines. One of the volunteers pretty much gave me a 1 on 1 guided tour. Great for kids. They definitely need the time and money to help restore everything. I drove an hour and it was very much worth it.

Great museum for any railfans coming to Willimantic. The volunteers were very courteous and knowledgeable. The place is seasonal and only open on weekends.

Hmmm I really do not know what to say . This place is in need of more visitors ,and investors. It has amazing potential with several trains and a few buildings to walk through . However they really need to clean up the place and build themselves a garage to store all of their tools , paints , scraps and what not rather than just piling it in areas where they display the trains and visitors walk through . I found that a but tacky and it took away from the museum . In a way I felt as if I was going to a train junk yard .

So sad because it is in a great area with...

This may be a great museum but we don't know. The online site we checked stated it was open Saturday and Sunday. After driving a bit more than an hour to find out it was closed. The entrance to the place is hidden -- hidden-- behind a large building/parking area about a mile down an unpaved road. No sign on the street to alert you to its existence. Might be an interesting/exciting place to visit but needs a major upgrade for...

This compact railroad museum offers numerous restored buildings, railroad cars and locomotives. The museum exhibits are are well marked and cover a broad spectrum of the railroad industry. The property is well cared for and the museum encourages exploration by young and old alike. Visitors can take a turn on a real Armstrong turntable or ride an old fashioned hand car. The museum staff are friendly and...
