The National Railroad Museum is dedicated to education of our nation through the preservation and interpretation of the railroad whose history is woven through the fabric of the United States.
We strive to provide educational programs to teachers and students of all ages, meeting Wisconsin State Academic standards. We are also a rich classroom resource providing access to archives, documents, photographs, lesson plans, pre and post field trip activities, and more. As the Museum continues to develop programs and exhibits, we will continue to develop resources that will assist teachers within the classroom, and provide access within the Museum and within our website.
