We visited on a Sunday and almost didn’t stay because the person opening the museum arrive almost 15 minutes late. The museum is a gem. It is small but includes a lot about the history of Cape Charles. There were displays of artifacts and books that had lots of pictures and information. There was also a fairly long video about the building of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. They also have a display modeling the bridge and tunnel system. It was small but well worth the visit. They also have a few cases of items/books for sale. They only take cash!

I love these little museums, and really appreciate the volunteers who run them. This is a must if you are interested in the bay bridge tunnel, into railroads, or just want to kill some time before stopping at the many restaurants nearby. The big Diesel engine was cool.

Nicely presented free, small museum on the way into town offering great content. Worth a short visit. The museum volunteers are most helpful with suggestions for visiting Cape Charles and surrounds.

It was a pleasant visit. The museum was closed but we were able to see the train cars and walk around.

The beaches are dog friendly at certain times of the day. Usually early morning and later in the day. I think the hours 10 am to 3 pm dogs are not allowed on the beach. Hope this helps.
