Displays include items from the origina

l train depot plus Pere Marquette and Pullman artifacts. Rail yard crew and steam engine photos, and a large collection of equipment including lanterns are also shown.

A rare restored World War II Pullman Troop Sleeper Car, C&O Chessie Box Car and C&O Caboose are open for discovery. An updated and informational Veterans Display proudly honors local servicemen and women. The “Gateway To Michigan” collection presents the historical endeavors of local pioneers.
