For the first time in half a century, the whistle blows, the boiler glows, and steam returns to the rails at the Ohio Railway Museum, but only for two unforgettable weekends! Join us as we mark 200 years of American railroading, beginning on National Train Day 2027! With steam back for such a limited time, we anticipate this special event will sell out, so don't wait to be part of history!
Spend your Saturday at the Ohio Railway Museum and step into Ohio's rich rail history! Explore the grounds at your own pace, then climb aboard a classic train ride, hop on a speeder, or take a locomotive cab ride for a closer look at the machines that shaped our nation. Bring the whole family, because there's something exciting waiting for every rail fan!
All aboard, Scouts! Join us at the Ohio Railway Museum on August 1st, 2026 for a full day of hands-on railroading you won't forget. This is your chance to earn your Railroad Merit Badge while jumping into real crew operations and discovering how our railroad runs from the inside out.
This August 1st, the Ohio Railway Museum is rolling out the welcome mat for all scouts in uniform, and admission is completely FREE! Just wear
your colors and come on in for a day of discovery, history, and fun with your fellow scouts.
Grab your troop or pack and explore the museum together! Climb aboard, hop on a train ride and a speeder ride, and get an up-close look at the locomotives
and railcars that shaped our country. It is hands-on history at its finest, and the perfect way to spend the day learning, exploring, and making memories.
Don't forget to pre-order your Scout Day 2026 patch so you can take home a keepsake from this special day!
