DIRECTIONS: HOW TO
GET TO THE TRAINS!
Our club is located at the REPUBLIC OF WEST FLORIDA HISTORICAL MUSEUM,
3406 College St, Jackson, LA 70748.
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 8C). 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.
