An Exciting Addition to Downtown Wolfeboro
Located in a recently restored freight house in downtown Wolfeboro, the Lakes Region Model Railroad Museum is an interactive adventure depicting the socio-economic and cultural impact of the railroad on industrial, transportation, and tourist development from Boston to North Conway.
At the Lakes Region Model Railroad Museum, visitors can discover the science of railroading, explore the history of the Lakes Region in miniature, and try their hand at driving a model train. The museum’s layout illustrates how the arrival of the train transformed the isolated agricultural villages in the area into bustling manufacturing centers and tourist destinations.
Although we are not fully open just yet, preview tours are available on Mondays and Wednesdays. Contact info@lrmrm.org to book yours today!
1872 Freight House
The museum is located in the Freight House (middle right) built in 1872. It has been restored and is now listed in the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places as the Wolfeboro Freight Shed.
