Railway Museum

A wonderful museum! A great place for the family, with lots to learn! Some hands on for kids of all ages. The museum depends on a great group of volunteers to keep everything going. Public donations are welcome since there is very limited government funding. And you can even spend the night in a caboose!

Excellent place! Most important are the people who are working there: passionate and knowledgable! Thank you for sharing stories and answering all my questions! It was very interesting to learn about that period of time when there was almost no highways and roads.

Amazing place with impressive historical value and a super honest and welcoming atmosphere. Staff was AMAZING and even though the structure is quite humble, the effort and dedication they put into it does shine through. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the lack of an AC inside (and this was agreed with the staff I’d mention ????).
Make sure you stop by when you’re in the area!

A unique experience if you are a train enthusiast. The museum located on William Street, Smith's Falls is an ideal spot to take the family. See the caboose on the tracks which can be rented for accommodations if staying in the area or just take a tour through the museum. The building was built around 1912 as a functional train station serving the community which sadly went out of service. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly.
