The Central Railway Museum
The Central Railway Museum is a project of CRM&HA, Inc. with strong support from the Town of Central. The museum includes a "heritage" layout in classic toy train scales and a large dual-level HO layout which is currently under construction and partially operable. Future plans also include a garden layout. The facility is owned by the Town of Central and is leased to CRM&HA, Inc. The city conducted exterior renovations and paved the parking lot, while CRM&HA has completely renovated the interior. Over the last year CRM&HA volunteers put over 1400 man-hours into interior renovations, opening up the floor plan and replacing an antiquated electrical system. Construction of layouts has been conducted over the last few months. CRM&HA, Inc. is also meeting regularly in this facility.

The musuem is open 9AM to noon on the second Saturday of each month. The heritage layout and parts of the HO layout are up and running, but still very much under construction.

Feel free to call ahead if you want make sure that we are there.
