IT’S OPENING WEEKEND!

I know with the single digit high temperatures and all the snow that is expected this weekend it’s a pretty tough sell to think that spring will ever arrive this year. However, I can guarantee that it will eventually show up and that’s because The Railroad Museum, Sioux City is re-opening its doors for the 2014 season starting this Saturday, March 1st.

Also in town this weekend at Emma’s Event Center is the Sioux City Model Railroad Show supporting the Sioux City Cosmopolitan Club. We will have two tables set-up at the train show with information about our 31 acre museum complex and we will also have many of our gift shop items available for sale.

This year we are also introducing a new annual membership program which many of you may be interested in. A single membership is $25 and a family membership which includes 2 adults and 2 children is $50. The membership includes a business card sized membership card, free admission to the museum for one year, 10% discount in our gift shop, and receipt of our newly developed quarterly newsletter. These memberships can be purchased at the Train Show this weekend or by stopping by the Railroad Museum anytime we are open.

As a special Grand Opening Weekend gift to our wonderful visitors we are cancelling our admission rates for this weekend March 1st and 2nd and are opening our doors for a free will donation only. Come on out and visit Old Ironhorse our 1909 built Great Northern 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive. After visiting the Train Show stop out and see our 75’ x 16’ HO scale Nebraska Central operating model railroad. Pick up a schedule of our upcoming events for the year and start to mark your calendars and plan your family outings for the year. We have a lot of exciting plans for this year and are very excited to kick off this new season.

Our hours of operation for the year are:
Tuesday – Saturday:  10:00AM– 4:00PM
Sunday:  Noon – 4:00PM
Mondays and Major Holidays:  Closed
