Primarily of interest to train buffs, this museum displays more than 30 antique railway cars, including the Ferdinand Magellan presidential car, where President Harry Truman famously brandished a newspaper with the erroneous headline ‘Dewey Defeats Truman.’

On weekends the museum offers 25-minute rides on old cabooses ($6) and standard gauge cabs ($12). It’s advised you call ahead to book rides.
