Huntsville, AL 35811

Located in Chase, Alabama, just east of Huntsville, the North Alabama Railroad Museum is a haven for train enthusiasts and history buffs. The museum is dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of railroads, offering visitors a glimpse into the past through its collection of well-preserved rolling stock and historic locomotives.

Visitors can embark on a self-guided walking tour of the museum grounds, which include the restored Chase Depot - the smallest union depot in the country. On select days, guests can even hop aboard a vintage train for a ride on the museum's own Mercury & Chase Railroad, immersing themselves in a bygone era of rail travel.

Run by a passionate team of volunteers, the North Alabama Railroad Museum relies on donations and income from train rides to continue its mission of preserving railroad history. With ongoing projects and plans for future development, the museum is poised to evolve into a one-of-a-kind facility, blending history and charm in a unique setting.

Very nice place to take the family, especially if they like trains. Lots of history to see in the ticket building too.
