Then ride with us aboard coaches built in the 1920's and 30's to see what rail travel was like in railroads hey-day before air travel and interstate highways.

See static displays of railroadings past, such as friction bearing trucks dating back to the turn of the 20th century and our rare Louisville and Nashville watchman's shanty.

See actual stones from the first railroad built in Kentucky. These stones used to build the Lexington & Ohio railroad date all the way back to the year 1831! They were uncovered during construction on farm property near Frankfort. One stone with iron strap rail still intact is displayed inside the Museum.
