The Fennimore Railroad Historical Society Museum is located in Fennimore, Wisconsin and is dedicated to preserving the rich railroad history of the region. The museum is housed in a historic depot building that was built in 1900 and served as a passenger and freight station for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad.

The museum features a variety of exhibits that showcase the history of rail transportation in the area. Visitors can see vintage locomotives, passenger cars, and freight cars, as well as a collection of railroad memorabilia such as lanterns, uniforms, and tools.

One of the highlights of the museum is a fully restored 1910 steam locomotive, which is on display outside the depot. The locomotive was used to haul freight and passengers on the Milwaukee Road line for many years before being retired and donated to the museum.

In addition to the exhibits, the museum also offers educational programs and events throughout the year, including train rides, guided tours, and special exhibits. The museum is open from May through October and welcomes visitors of all ages to explore the fascinating history of rail transportation in the Fennimore area.
