The Memphis Railroad & Trolley Museum is a cool place to learn about trains and trolleys! It's located in Memphis, Tennessee, right inside the Central Station building. This museum shows you the history of railroads and the special trolleys that used to run in Memphis. You can see old train parts, watch videos, and even look at amazing model train displays.

Who Runs the Museum?

The museum is run by a special group called a non-profit organization. This means they don't try to make money for themselves. Instead, any money they get goes right back into running the museum. The people who work there are all volunteers. They give their time for free because they love trains and trolleys!
