It's always nice when history is presented in a building with some history of its own as this place does. That and the extremely friendly staff add to a wide range of well done displays on the history of Dickson and the surrounding area.

Did not expect to find a railroad museum in Dickson, Tennessee. Very nice museum. Very much in keeping with the general atmosphere of Dickson. Everyone is extremely nice, yet sincere in their efforts to help you have a wonderful time. Dickson is much more than overnight stop along the way. Wife and I plan to vacation there in the future...

Our family of 4, ages 12 to 45, enjoyed our tour at the museum. We were amazed at how well everything was maintained. So much to see ad the tickets are very reasonable. Kids are free and adults are $4(I think). Upstairs has a large room devoted to miniature trains and villages. You can tell the staff love their jobs.... More

This museum is only a short distance off Interstate 40, and well worth a visit! The building itself was once a hotel, and now houses room after room of fascinating exhibits - bound to hold the interest of young and old, alike. The staff is wonderful - everyone who works here demonstrates true Southern hospitality. This museum is reasonably priced,... More

This museum was worth our stop and an hour of our time. Being from out of state, we learned a lot about the area through this tour, as well as the history of the building. Very intricate train room set up upstairs. Take the time to look closely at all the detail or you'll miss so many cute things in... More

This museum was a big pleasant surprise. The outside doesn't give a fancy apperance, for this was a early 1900's railroad hotel, and not a modern-day resort. The name of it was Hotel Halbrook, but the birth of a Tennessee governor here gave it is current museum title of Clement Hotel Railroad Museum. Inside you will find several rooms dedicated... More

Rolling east or west on I-40 about a 1/2 hour west of Nashville, when you get to Dickson, Tennessee, you'll see the brown interstate history signs for the "Clement Hotel Railroad Museum". If you have a few hours to spend, do your self a favor, and take the exit, and head for beautiful downtown Dickson. I got there about dinnertime... More

this museum was displaying the history of the local city of Dickson, which was a railroad town. It is decorated with many period pieces that would have been common. The original register is on display, and a cute railroad display is there for the kids. At the time, they were having a special display of civil war era medical instruments.... More
