If you love trains, the Rails West Railroad Museum is a must-see! They have a great collection of historic train cars and a wonderful collection of artifacts on display in the historic depot.

A really fun visit. It's more like the old.musuems in the 80s that have lots of things but don't have a lot of flashy displays. For instance there are lots of preserved newspaper articles, rather than large sideboards, but it's all worth seeing. There are also several train cars you can go into that have their original interiors, which was super neat, and maybe the best part. Highly recommend this and we plan to go back again.

We feel it one time does Museum was not so run down it was very dirty dusty we thought it could have been better taken care of with just a little upgrade it was sad to see the history was not being reserved very well we thought it was a little expensive to get in to what we were able to see it’s sad to see that things were not being preserved as well as they could’ve been with just a little time and cleaning
