We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization. All donations are tax deductible.

Please support our Annual Fundraiser

Two years ago, we reorganized after a long decline. Our goal is to build Michigan's railway museum on this unique railroad. Even with trains running full, we have a lot of catching up to do.

This year, we are fundraising for two projects: the Museum Building and the Passenger Coaches. You can also give to our General Fund, which helps keep the lights on.
