Special Advertising Section All Aboard for Family Fun! We're More Than a Museum The Kentucky Railway Museum located in New Haven, Kentucky operates a 17 mile line that was originally part of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. Today, visitors can enjoy a time when life was slower and travel was by rail. Relax with us as you travel on a 22 mile, 90 minute train excursion, pulled by either diesel or steam locomotives through the beautiful historic countryside of the Rolling Fork River Valley. Stroll through the 5,000 square-foot depot which houses the museum and gift store. The museum contains a collection of artifacts and memorabilia which interpret the story of America's rail system. The gift store has everything you need for the train enthusiast. Each summer Thomas the Tank Engine rolls into New Haven for a Day Out With Thomas™. Take a train ride with Thomas and enjoy special children's activities throughout the day. In October, enjoy the beautiful fall colors during your 90 minute excursion. The month of December brings jolly old Saint Nick to town. Wear your pajamas, ride the train with Santa and enjoy cookies and hot chocolate. Bring your camera and start building those holiday memories you and your family will treasure for a lifetime. Additional excursions include Train Robberies, Family Pizza Trains, Dinner Trains, Mystery Theatre and much more.
