Absolutely delightful place. We enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended. It is free. Remember that so donations are greatly appreciated.
Our recent visit to the Train Mountain Railroad Museum in Chiloquin, Oregon was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived at this hidden gem of a location, we knew we were in for a memorable experience.
One of the first things that struck us about the museum was the warm and inviting atmosphere. The grounds were impeccably maintained, providing a picturesque setting for our day of exploration. The staff and volunteers at Train Mountain were some of the nicest people we have ever encountered at a museum. Their passion for mountain railroads was palpable, and their dedication to preserving and sharing this history was evident in every interaction.
What impressed us most was the level of knowledge possessed by the staff and volunteers. They were more than happy to answer our questions, providing fascinating insights into the history of mountain railroads and their impact on the region. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it made our visit all the more engaging and educational. We left with a newfound appreciation for the important role that trains have played in shaping the landscape and communities of Oregon.
Another aspect that sets Train Mountain apart is that it is entirely free to visit. This makes it an ideal destination for families on a budget, allowing everyone to enjoy the experience.
Overall, our family day at the Train Mountain Railroad Museum was nothing short of exceptional. This museum is a must-visit for anyone with an interest in trains, history, or simply a desire to spend quality time with loved ones in a beautiful setting.
What a pleasant surprise! Stopped in on a road trip and was welcomed like old friends. Offered a tour on one of the trains with a knowledgeable guide all the while never asked for a dime. Left a donation anyway of course
Heard about this place on PBS Oregon Field Guide 20 years ago and finally was in the area. All workers and train drivers are volunteers and they don’t charge you to ride the trains! People were very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed the scenery and relaxing train ride. The museum was great as well with some very cool old train cars you get to climb in and explore. Highly recommended and we will be back!
