My first job was a museum guide here when I was 16, and it gave me an interest in history as well as experience dealing with customer service. I definitely have good memories of this place and always love taking a visit in the summer and seeing what new artifacts have been donated. This is a gem in the community
An excellent stop to learn a bit about the history of the railroad that once travelled through the region, and has since been replaced by the excellent rail trail. I highly recommend ending a trip on the rail trail here with the nearby ice cream shop! Just be aware that they are very anti-ice-cream in the museum and you cannot combine these two activities ;)
Very interesting to people interested in trains and railways.
Local flavor of an early community rail way station.
This isn't a place I would make a special trip for, but if you're on your way to Martinique beach, it's worth a stop. Kids in particular will enjoy the old rail car that you can explore the inside of. The museum itself is pretty basic but still interesting and totally free.
