Inside the Railroad Museum, model trains in many gauges are running. Showcases contain model steam locomotives - many in brass.

A telegrapher's office and lanterns from many railroads are on display, and a collection of memorabilia from when steam was king is on the walls.

See sixteen hundred dolls, from German dolls of the 1800's to today's Barbie.

Dolls include a 5 foot tall Victorian Lady in her walking suit, a little girl in front of a mirror dressed in her mother's clothes, a Victorian Christmas scene, and an exhibit of Madame Alexander dolls portraying the President's First Ladies in their beautiful inaugural gowns.

Through a guided tour, the historical dolls bring back childhood memories, while today's popular dolls foretell the future.

The museum is closed until April 1st, but you can make an appointment right now. Call (608) 272-3266
