Your Support Keeps History Rolling

The California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento’s historic Old Sacramento Waterfront, celebrates the railroads that transformed California, united a nation, and changed the world. Each year, more than 500,000 visitors experience its remarkable locomotive collection, immersive exhibits, and compelling stories.

Your support powers the California State Railroad Museum Foundation, the nonprofit partner of the Museum and Railtown 1897 State Historic Park. Together, we preserve historic artifacts, expand educational programs, and inspire future generations to discover California’s railroad heritage.
