American Passenger Train History Museum Inc

Our primary purpose is to educate the public on the role and history of the Passenger Train in America. Our organization is in the collecting and building phase of it's development. We are acquiring passenger train cars for display (diners, coaches, sleepers). In 2021 we acquired and moved a large train depot to our museum site. The main focus and achievement this year was to began the fundraising effort for renovating the building with new electrical, HVAC, plumbing systems and restoring it to being a functional building. We will continue the fundraising effort this year. We also were able to acquire a rare Burlington railroad "Zephyr" train Railway Post Office car for future display. We also acquired a sleeper for our Great Northern Railway "Empire Builder" train set and two Milwaukee Road "Hiawatha" train coaches. We are not yet open to the public and do not expect to be for several years as we work on restoring the depot and the trains that will be on display.
