Our 2025 regular operating season is coming to an end. We want to thank everyone who came out this year to visit the museum!

Railyard Local Train Rides end on November 9th, and General Admission ends on November 23rd.

General Admission and Walk-In ticket sales are NOT available for our Santa Trains event (November 29th- December 22nd).

Join us for a train ride in the historic Danbury railyard!

As a living history museum, we offer tours of our ten-acre railyard from the comfort of a seat in one of our vintage coaches, historic cabooses, or even the cab of the locomotive! Train rides are about 30-35 minutes and include a layover stop at our historic turntable and pumphouse facility.
