Story

Located in the basement of the Canfield War Vet Museum, founded by Lew Speece, president of the Canfield American Legion, in 1988. The museum has over 40,000 items, donated by war veterans and their families. The Canfield Model Railroaders non-profit group is headed by founder Jack Whitehouse and is located in the basement of the museum. Jack and his group of "railroaders", young people that volunteer their time to create and preserve this amazing model train display. Relying solely on donations, both monetary and previously owned model train items, the group continues to work on expanding the museum. Truly a treat for all ages to see, every Saturday from 10 till 2 p.m.
