Nevada State Railroad Museum
More Rail History Awaits

Make Your Adventure Go Further
Just 20 minutes from V&T Railway’s Eastgate Depot, the Nevada State Railroad Museum is perfect for families and rail enthusiasts alike. With affordable admission and free entry for both kids and members, its rotating exhibits and lively events offer even more moments to remember.
Stories From the Silver State’s Past
Step into the Nevada State Railroad Museum and marvel at the trains that once carried legends and silver through rugged canyons and mining towns. Explore interactive exhibits, priceless memorabilia, and working equipment like the McKeen Motorcar, keeping the Silver State’s railway history alive.
Don’t miss out on this stop before or after enjoying one of V&T Railway’s excursions.
Two Destinations, One State’s Legendary History
While V&T Railway and the Nevada State Railroad Museum both celebrate Nevada’s rail history, they operate independently. Tickets for train excursions are purchased through V&T Railway, not at the museum.
At the museum, you’ll find free parking, accessible facilities, and a mix of indoor and outdoor exhibits that bring the state’s railroad heritage to life.
Make a Day of It
Turn a weekend in Carson City into an unforgettable adventure. Before or after you get your fill of hands-on history at Nevada State Railroad Museum, head over to Eastgate Depot to hop aboard a beautifully preserved train ride with V&T Railway. They’re must-do activities for curious families, history buffs, and railroad enthusiasts alike.
