Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum

Preserving for future generations
From humble beginnings as a chapter of the National Railroad Historical Society (NRHS) the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum carries out its mission to preserve the sights, sounds, and artifacts of railroading for future generations.

Tourism and Recreation
As the official railroad museum of the state of Alabama our museum features operating standard gauge and narrow gauge trains, two restored depots, an indoor collection of railroad artifacts and memorabilia, and an outdoor collection of railroad cars, locomotives, and cabooses. Our exhibits, operating railroads, and educational programs function as both a unique means of tourism and recreation, and also a way to preserve the rich history of Alabama and our nation.

Visit Us!
We hope you'll visit us to ride a train, view our museum's collections, and learn more about Alabama's railroad history. Admission to the museum is free of charge and donations are accepted! During our operating season, tickets are required for riding our trains.
