Railroad Museum Expansion Concept
Railroad Museum Expansion Project finalizes design
The Cleburne Railroad Museum’s new expansion would include design elements that create a train station atmosphere.

City Council reviewed the latest update of the Cleburne Railroad Museum Expansion project at its July 28 meeting. The project aims to expand the museum’s space and enhance its usage and functionality.

The proposed changes would alter the museum’s layout to create a better experience. This includes an expanded lobby for displays and a multipurpose area that could be used for exhibits, classroom programs, speeches, and future collections.
