Make Tracks for the Best Train Museums in the Country

by Allison Sutcliffe

You’re never too old to ride the rails. To help you discover (and explore) a few awesome engines, we tracked down the best train museums from coast to coast. Whether you’re a big buff or a little buff, these historic sites, antique collections, and interactive exhibits will keep you clickety-clacking down the track. Flip through the album to see them all.

Colorado Railroad Museum – Golden, Co

Families can find out how the West was won at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden. You'll wander through the 15-acre rail yard and take in the locomotive, steam engines, and cabooses that dwarf little train enthusiasts. Don't miss Open Car Saturdays at the museum, a day that's made for breaking rules—little rebels and their parents can explore usually off-limits vintage equipment during this special time.

Insider Tip: The museum hosts Director Storytime & Craft on the third Tuesday of every month!
