When are our seasons for the museum?
Currently we are a seasonal operation. We are open for Summer Season beginning the Friday before Memorial day (late May) through August and then weekends in September. Our Holiday Season begins the day after Thanksgiving and runs into early January. We are typically open for all major holidays that fall during these dates; it’s best to always check our website for the exact schedule.
Are you worried about cold or rainy weather?
The Railroad Interpretive Center is outdoors; it’s fun to explore the historical equipment inside and out, and read the informational signs. Even if it’s chilly outside, you’ll be plenty warm inside the Visitor Center & Gift Shop and the two model train rooms, where you can also take part in the Scavenger Hunt. You may go from outside to inside as you please!

Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are needed to work on the new Moffat Railroad layout! Interested in working on this exciting project?
We are building the HO scale Moffat railroad model train layout, which will be a replica starting from the east portal of the Moffat Tunnel all the way to Craig. We are looking for some volunteers to help us out. There are multiple skill sets needed – electrician, carpenters, artists, model builders, etc. Whether you have any specific skills or not, we’d welcome anyone who would like to join us.
If interested, call Dave Naples at 970-281-9094.
Colorado Gives Day was on December 9 but You Can Give 365!
