Some things just bring out the kid in us. Maybe it’s hearing our favorite Christmas carol, riding a roller coaster at our favorite amusement park, or grabbing a treat from the ice cream man. Whether you bring the kids along or just head over with a group of friends, you’re sure to relive some of that childhood magic at Iron Spike Model Train Museum in Missouri, a fun destination for all ages.
Iron Spike Model Train Museum in Washington beckons train lovers of all ages, making it a must visit destination at least once. Chances are, however, that you'll come back again and again.
Veteran owned and operated and staffed solely by volunteers, the model train museum offers the chance to introduce the little ones to the railroad in a fun yet educational way.
If you want to delve deeper into the history of the railroad, visit the resource center and library at the museum, which is brimming with more than 20,000 magazines and books.
If you build model trains, you'll definitely want to visit the Recylced Railroad Shop at the museum. There, you'll find a treasure trove of parts, including engines and tracks.
