Explore our Museum!

As you enter the Train Station’s main lobby, you will come to our Gift Shop Information Station. Here you will say hi and purchase your museum ticket! You might stay for the current story time & craft, find out what events are happening, or if you are ready to explore, you will be given your passport to the Museum and begin your exploration of more than 300 years of change along the Washington Heritage Trail. From the Information Station, you may choose which travel journey of three you will start with. You can travel these in any order, but make sure you explore all three!
