The Waldwick Museum of Local History, located in Waldwick, NJ, is a branch of the Waldwick Historical Society. Its dedicated volunteers have successfully restored the Erie Railroad signal tower, also known as the WC, which played a significant role in Waldwick's railroading past. Through private donations, local fundraising, and government grants, the museum has transformed the signal tower to its former glory, providing an educational environment for students, railfans, history buffs, and local groups to learn about the important role of manned signal switching towers in the operation of the railroad.

All Aboard Waldwick, as part of the museum, offers visitors the opportunity to explore the renovated interior of the Harvey Springstead Memorial Signal Tower. With interpretive signs providing information about the tower and railroading in the area, the museum invites individuals to stop by and experience the rich history of the Erie Railroad.
