Yesterday I had the pleasure of experiencing this great site. The museums were amazing. Being able to go onto some of the trains and see what is was like for workers and passengers was a wonderful learning experience. The great day concluded with one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a NP gift shop. RUTH you are amazing! You made us feel so welcomed and your knowledge was very impressive. Being able to talk parks with you made it such a memorable experience. Thank you again!! Cannot wait to go back here!
The Steamtown National Historic Site was a great place to stop and learn about the trains and the history of the area. There were many trains that have been restored and some running on the premises. While I did not try to take my dog in to the museum, as they are usually not allowed, there is a lot of picnic area where I was able to walk her. There is plenty of parking, and even room for trucks with campers/trailers and RVs. We really enjoyed our visit.
Step into a bygone era at Steamtown National Museum. This captivating museum brings the golden age of railroads to life. You might first notice the impressive locomotives. Then you want to explore all the interactive exhibits. Take to the train for a nice ride. It's a must-visit for history buffs and train enthusiasts alike. Hours of learning and fun.
Very interesting and a lot of trains see and museums to go through. Found roundhouse in the middle interesting.nnA couple things were close given off-season but still worth the time.
We didn't realize that Steamtown is a National Historic Park. Bring your Passport and get it stamped in the store. It was a free entrance.nWe went with our grandchildren. The older one loved it.nGo on a weekend if you want a train ride.nWe'll definitely return and maybe do the Trolly Museum and a train ride. We took a quick walk over to the Marketplace as well.nIt was a nice day trip from the Triple Cities area.
