Railroad Museum And Historic Station

Of the numerous train models on display in the Chatham Railroad Museum, four are of special note. Scale models of the locomotives in use in the late 1930s on the New York Central Railroad, they were handmade by Walthers Brothers, a top model train set maker, for display at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. The trains were later shown off in various New York Central stations, as well as Grand Central Station, on a working model layout. The late Frank Love, the first director of the museum who had worked for the railroad, arranged for the train set models to be displayed at the Chatham museum in the early 1960s.

To get there: From Route 6 (Mid-Cape Highway) take Exit 11 Chatham/Brewster Route 137. Address: 153 Depot Road, Chatham, MA 02633
