Donate to the Railroad Museum at Ardenwood

We currently have a campaign the "Spring Switch Fund Raiser" to fund the installation of spring switches on our operating track to ease operations, but if you are not interested in funding this project you can still donate to the museum--see below!

Your non-campaign donation will be used for restoration and maintenance of our cars and physical plant.

Thank you!
