Fennimore Railroad Historical Society

The Fennimore Railroad Historical Society Museum is operated by an extremely dedicated 10-member Historical Society. It is a non-profit venture subsisting strictly on donations of money, materials and faithful volunteers. The volunteers assist in operating the museum 7 days a week during the summer season between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

The museum features many home appliances and tools from the 1900 era so the museum is of interest to both males and females. Many of the memorabilia on display were donated by the families of Fennimore and the surrounding area. This is an attempt by Railroad Society members to keep alive memories of how our relatives lived in that era

Current Historical Society Members include:
  • President - Bob Brugger - 608-822-6990
  • Vice President - Greg Ashmore
  • Secretary/Treasurer - Chuck Stenner
Directors
  • Fred Brechler
  • Herb Brun
  • Bob Craig
  • Don Marish
  • Dave Stenner
  • Al Truitt
  • Al Wagner

* The original Dinky locomotive is owned by the city of Pioche, Nevada, and is on display in a park there.
