Climb aboard for a festive train ride through the Northwest Indiana countryside and enjoy a special holiday experience for the entire family.

The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum depends on the generosity of people like you to preserve and share our region's rich railroad heritage. As a nonprofit, volunteer-operated organization, we rely on donations to help maintain and restore historic locomotives, passenger cars, and railroad equipment, while continuing to offer memorable experiences for visitors of all ages. Every contribution makes a difference and helps ensure that future generations can experience the sights, sounds, and history of railroading firsthand.

The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum is actively seeking new members who are interested in becoming part of a growing organization. There are numerous volunteer opportunities at the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum. We invite you and your family to join us as members. We need new members to fill various volunteer positions within our organization. Volunteering can a very rewarding experience for those in our membership.
