Open in May 2006 the Historical Center has displays on the history of Railroads along with model train layouts. Once you step into the Railroad Historical Center you will see railroading on a smaller scale. Four model railroads will greet you, an O scale layout, HO scale module layout, N scale Ntrak layout, and a G scale layout hanging from the ceiling. When you further explore the center you will see displays of a switch machine, photos, timetables, lanterns, Operation Lifesaver display, paintings, and memorabilia of railroading past and present, and you could sit and watch a video on railroading.

     Preserving railroad history, learning about railroading, model railroading, and having fun is what we hope will bring you downtown to visit the Railroad Historical Center on the third floor of Fascinate-U Children's Museum, downtown Fayetteville, NC.

     The Cape Fear Railroaders Railroad Historical Center is sponsored by the Cape Fear Chapter 164 of the National Railway Historical Society with support from City of Fayetteville, Fascinate-U Children's Museum, and railroader's like you. The Historical Center receives no money from the City of Fayetteville or Fascinate-U Children's Museum, we operate completely from member dues and donations.
