Are you a fan of train travel? How about train history? Model trains, perhaps? If you answered yes to any of these, then you owe it to yourself to plan a trip to the Richmond Railroad Museum. It’s here that you can enjoy an immersive experience in all things trains. And, the Richmond Railroad Museum just so happens to have one of the largest indoor model train displays in Virginia.
Welcome to the Richmond Railroad Museum! This landmark is, fittingly, located inside the historic Southern Railway Station on Hull Street.
Step inside, and you'll find yourself surrounded by fascinating train displays, equipment, and materials. Not to mention the fact that the building itself has retained much of its architectural structures from its earliest station days.
After taking some time to appreciate the exhibits and the outdoor space, which includes must-see railroad artifacts, head back inside for the indoor model train.
Look closely and you may even find some replicas of famous Richmond landmarks. One of the newest additions to the model display is a historic replica of the Governor's Mansion from 1930.
The museum recommends spending at least one hour exploring the grounds. However, with such a mesmerizing model train display, you might be there all afternoon!
