If you LOVE locomotives, then you will want to choo...choo...choose the Nevada State Railroad Museum for your next day out!
This Nevada museum is dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of the states railroad. The collection holds over 65 locomotives and cars which the kids can actually get up close to. 40 of the collection were built before 1900, and 31 pieces actually operated on the V&T Railroad so it really is an incredible trip back through history!
The Nevada State Railroad Museum has an incredible collection. Many were brought from Hollywood Studios, having been made famous in a number of movies and TV shows.
The museum also has a range of fun and fascinating activities for the family, including the operation of historic railroad equipment such as handcar rides, train rides and special events!
The exhibits within the museum cover a range of topics, including one that depicts Nevada railroads through the 20th century. There is a very cool model railroad 1/87th the actual size, and is very cool to see!
Keep an eye out for fun events across the year too, which the museum put on. They are often great for families and still include a great trip through history!
There are also programs, such as the "Your Hand Is On The Throttle" program geared for those over 18 years, where you can actually LEARN how to operate a historic steam engine - how cool is that!?
If your family love history, or love railroads and trains, then the Nevada State Railroad Museum might just be somewhere that you will want to visit!
Enjoy kids!
