Hours
The Museum’s regular hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Most visitors to the museum start by taking a walk through our main building, Danbury Union Station. Inside you’ll find artifacts, photo displays, model railroads, and a play area for our younger visitors. Our 10-acre railyard is home to over 70 pieces of railroad rolling stock; a select few pieces are rotated in and out and open to visitors for touring. We are open year-round with weekend train rides April through October and Santa Trains in December.
