Driving through town and got stopped by a train. Saw the sign the museum was open and free too! Amazing place with tons of history -- beer, racetrack, trains, etc! The memorabilia collection is quite stunning and worth a visit. Cool train layout in the basement too

Every small town should have a museum like this showcasing its history. Unfortunately I forget his name but the guy who was giving me the tour was quite knowledgeable. I came into town for a few hours to kill some time while waiting for a family member to have a surgery procedure done at a hospital nearby. Came into town not knowing much about it but because of this museum I left being somewhat of an expert. Being an avid railfan I can say with all certainty that any rail fan will enjoy this spot. I would have to make one recommendation and that would be too remove those pine trees that are behind the place and in their place put a train watching area with like a park grill or something. If you were to do this, you would bring in rail fans (and their money) from all over the place. There is a really nice view of Slinger Junction of course but there's something really picturesque about trains coming southbound going around that corner.

If you are from the area this is a must see. A huge variety of items well preserved and professionally displayed. It was a real flashback to the time I was growing up in Slinger. Well done! Will come back as there was too much to take in all at one time. Thank you Nancy for the tour.
