My husband and son wanted to include this museum when we purchased our tickets to the Savannah history musuem, and I sort of sighed and went along with the idea.

WOW- take your favorite train buff or child to this great site! The restored trains and buildings are great history lessons about the city of Savannah. Restoration is still in progress, and it's interesting to see the process of bringing back the roundhouse.
