Our Mission
The Southern Michigan Railroad Society, Inc. is dedicated to building an operating museum railroad using the first branch rail line into Michigan -- the Palmyra and Jacksonburgh -- and preserving its historical railroad era (1938-1982). The Organization aims to promote the awareness of railroading though educational and social activities involving its members and communities of Tecumseh and Clinton, Michigan. Our educational purpose is "to collect historical artifacts, preserve them for future generations, and to educate the public about railway history."
