Fennimore Railroad Historical Society Museum » Business Directory

The Fennimore Railroad Historical Society Museum is home of the “Dinky”.  And is located in the former city powerhouse and utility building.  The building has been remodeled inside and out to remember a turn-of-the-century depot.  The replica loading platform was built with sand and brick, just the way it was originally built, using brick from the original depot.  The museum also showcases an excellent collection of antique farm tools and equipment, military uniforms and war memorabilia, and home appliances and tools form the 1900 era.  Many of the items on display were donated by families from Fennimore and the surrounding area.  Train rides on an operational miniature 15″-gauge rail with 700 feet of track that sits south of the museum are available on weekends and scheduled holidays.  Scale buildings complete the miniature layout.

Please call before traveling a long distance to verify the hours of operation.
