Railroad Museum [For A Day]
On Sunday from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm, join the United Railroad Historical Society for a celebration of New Jersey’s railroad history.Railroad Museum [for a day] is hosted by the United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey, owners of the largest and most historic railroad collection in New Jersey. During this once-a-year event, the URHS Restoration Facility in Boonton, NJ will become New Jersey’s largest railroad museum.
For the seventh consecutive year, the URHS will open the gates of its normally-private Boonton NJ Restoration Facility to showcase some of its historic collection. Railroad Museum [for a day] will provide a rare, family-friendly opportunity to admire, explore, and go inside our historic trains and learn about their connection to the region we live in.
Visitors will be able to get up close and personal with vintage railroad equipment and well as visiting classic cars, trucks, buses, and military vehicles. Live music, food concessions, historical and educational presentations, and vendors of railroad-related souvenirs will round out a day that the whole family can enjoy!
New this year! Boy Scouts in uniform receive $2 off their admission and can earn a special railroad patch. Scouts will experience New Jersey railroad history while exploring New Jersey's largest railroad event. Those who complete all of the requirements (which will be available on-site) will receive a special edition commemorative caboose patch.
Event parking is available at the Upper Plane Street municipal lot. This lot is located directly adjacent to the Boonton Day street fair on Main Street, and a free shuttle bus will be available to take you to Museum [for a day].
