EVERY 2ND AND 4TH SATURDAYS OF THE MONTH.
Please Note: Due to heat and other factors we
will be operating from 10:30 AM until 3 PM this summer. Please show
up early if you wish to see the trains running. Thanks for your interest
in our club!
DIRECTIONS: HOW TO
GET TO THE TRAINS!
Our club is located at the REPUBLIC OF WEST FLORIDA HISTORICAL MUSEUM.
We are on the hill above the train station. Look for the blinking railroad
crossing signal and the outdoor garden railroad
display.
From Baton Rouge, take I-110 north to U.S. 61 (exit 8B). Travel north on U.S. 61
for 12 miles, turn right on Highway 68 (There is a Mobil Gas Station at the turn
off). Travel east for 11.5 miles, turn left on
Highway 10 at the traffic light. Travel two miles into Jackson, turn right on
College St. The museum is 2 blocks north on the right.

A wonderful live steam train ride is available through
The Old Hickory Railroad. The
train leaves the museum grounds and travels over six miles of track! Bring the
family and take them for a ride on a real train! For more information,

this treasure of Civil War and military artifacts, antique cars, planes and
carriages, Antebellum furnishings, ship models, steam train rides, wildlife, and
musical instruments is a "must see" when visiting the Gulf South. The proud
history that IS LOUISIANA is brought to life in every exhibit.
