continue to have outstanding programs for Halloween and other holidays. Also great to stop in on most weekends.
MoreWe are a Paranormal Group based in Ohio. So when we got the opportunity to have an investigation at Midwest Preservation aka B&O Roundhouse, we jumped at the change. It is less museum and more industrial setting so not sure how daytime tours go but it was very exciting. We were able to board trains, including the famous death car where may lives were lost in an accident in the 40s. Very cool experience.
MoreOld Steam locomotive roundhouse that escaped destruction. Volunteers are restoring the building, vintage railroad passenger cars and equipment. Located in an industrial area of the river flats, it can be hard to find, but worth the effort. Best to visit during open house and get a guided tour and a brief ride aboard a 30s restored coach.
MoreGreat place to visit for kids of all ages and train enthusiasts. A lot of railroad stock and heavy equipment of all kinds. A real slice of history staffed by friendly, knowledgable volunteers. Highly recommend it!
MoreWalk up to and stand on an old steam engine. during open houses they provide train rides. Come see the progress being made on a 1918 steam engine. A second steam engine is also being worked on. a passenger car is also available for rides
