TWIN CITIES MODEL RAILROAD MUSEUM

On May 1, 1934, a group of modelers met to form the St. Paul Craftsman Club and begin building an O-gauge model railroad. From these humble beginnings, and through several location and name changes, the Twin City Model Railroad Museum has grown to a world-class museum.

Most recently, the museum moved to a new space in St. Paul’s Midway neighborhood. This new space gives us the flexibility to display touring layouts and expand our toy train layout collection!

The Twin City Model Railroad Museum is a non-profit organization.The mission is to provide family entertainment for the young and old alike, while preserving this era of Minnesota railroad history.
