Review:

Foley Railroad Museum and Model Train Exhibit is housed within Foley's historic railroad depot facility, which was constructed in 1909 and served as the city's transportation hub for more than six decades. Today, the depot has been converted into a public railroad museum that is open throughout the week for free, showcasing a collection of artifacts, tools, and memorabilia connected to the city's railroading history. Visitors can explore exhibits connected to the region's railroads and peruse the lovely preserved depot building, which is operated as a living history museum. A delightful O-scale model train display is also showcased at the site, covering over 1,200 square feet of tabletop and highlighting multiple miniature freight and passenger trains, model town buildings, and wooden trestle bridges and tunnels. On select days, visitors can also ride a free miniature train ride around nearby Heritage Park. The Museum is open Mon-Sat from 10-3; the Model Train Exhibit is open Tue, Thur and Sat from 10-2.
