Steamtown National Historic Site offers world-class museum facilities which tell the story of steam railroading; both the nuts and bolts side and the personal side. Steamtown's Technology Museum is a visitor favorite, providing an immersive experience into the lights, sounds, and technology of the railroading industry.
The Technology Museum includes a sectioned steam locomotive, a caboose and a boxcar, and exhibits covering technical aspects of railroading such as Making and Using Steam, Signals, Disasters, Railroad Jargon, Architecture, Maintenance of Way, and others.
The combination of a working railroad yard and a world-class railroad museum gives visitors a chance to do more than just step back in time. Visitors to Steamtown can step back in time with an understanding that is unique in America.
