Vision for the Future: Progress Update
Since announcing our expansion plans on National Train Day 2025, the Ohio Railway Museum has transformed into a hub of activity. Visitors will notice ongoing maintenance projects,
guest experience improvements, and active restoration work throughout the property. Our volunteer base continues to grow, which is crucial for an all-volunteer organization like ours.
If you haven't visited recently, you'll be amazed by the progress we've made. We look forward to welcoming you back, because alongside our dedicated volunteers, you are essential to
our success.
Groundwork and Cleanup:
Our dedicated volunteers have transformed the old Silcott Yard, earning praise from this year’s visitors for the noticeable improvements.
Historic Preservation:
Stabilization efforts for the newly acquired historical structures are well underway.
Trolley Expansion:
New poles have been installed to support the trolley wire for our planned double track.
New Attractions:
Visitors are loving the addition of our pollinator garden and pumpkin patch, which have quickly become fan favorites.

Testimonials
★★★★★
"It may not be the biggest or most extensive heritage railroad/museum out there, but the equipment shown off is fascinating, the tram ride was fun, even if a little short,
and the staff were friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the locomotives and rolling stock. If I lived close enough I'd absolutely volunteer, and if
you live within an hour of Worthington Ohio, you should too!"
- Logan Casada

"What a great little museum! One of the oldest rail museums in the US, they have a great collection of Ohio transportation history. The trolley ride was great, and all the
staff was able to answer any questions we had about the equipment. You are able to walk through a bunch of the cars and the trains, along with the displays inside the museum.
A great afternoon for the young and young at heart."

"Great place. Fun and learned a lot. Grandkids loved the train ride(me too) and ringing the bell. Great people are working there. Please visit. They are restoring these trains. History right here!"
