The National Railroad Museum is located alongside the Fox River on 33 acres in Ashwaubenon, part of suburban Green Bay, Wisconsin. This museum is one of the oldest railroad and train history museums in the U.S. It was started from just a few volunteers and a community dedicated to preserve railroad history.

Those efforts have produced one of the largest rail museums in the country today. Just 12 full-time staff and over 100 dedicated volunteers welcome over 75,000 visitors from all over the world each year.

Origins of the National Railroad Museum

In 1956, local residents took it upon themselves to create the concept of a national museum dedicated specifically to American railroading history. The whole idea for the museum actually grew from a community effort to save one old steam locomotive that had resided on display in a city park for years. As the community effort to save the locomotive grew larger, the number of rolling stock grew as well.
