Join the Museum
The museum will combine historical experiences along with a 4,000 sq. ft. model of the "Moffat Road." The building will be situated in a fully landscaped area called the Railroad Interpretive Center, complete with outdoor life size displays of steam engine, caboose, railroad artifacts, etc., along with pathways, lights, and benches. The museum will provide students, residents, and visitors the opportunity to learn about the history of railroading and its effects on the economy and growth of Grand County. |
Preview The Museum
A model of the Moffat Road Railroad Museum property layout is currently on display in the Granby Library and is open for public viewing. Visit our Building Progress to see floor plans, 3D renderings, and the model of the museum, along with progress photos that will be updated along the way.
The "Moffat Road" Model Railroad
The museum will house the Grand County Model Railroad Club’s working display of the "Moffat Road" Railroad - the Denver & Northwestern Pacific R.R. from Denver, Colorado to Craig, Colorado circa: 1905 thru 1960’s. For more information and photos, visit the Model Railroad page. We are offering a fun way to raise money by having sponsorship opportunities on various features of the model railroad. See our Model Railroad Sponsor Choices for more details.
