This is a small museum considering the important impact on Salamanca that the railroads had.
It is self-guided walk through the exhibits in the main building and access to several railroad cars outside where the kids can see the real thing.
The building is a restored railroad depot with examples of old tickets and lanterns and seats and everything associated with running and using a rail system. There is a short video on the growth of the rail system locally. There are also some momentos of important local figures donated by the historical society. The best part of the tour are the three railroad cars that you can get into and pull levers and open doors. My wife enjoyed the small gift shop too, of course.
We got there on a Sunday and there was no admission fees... just walk in and look around. Address: 170 main streetWebsite: http://wnyrails.org/cities/sal/sal_srm.htm
