Like any other museum, it depends on how much time you spend reading the info at each exhibit. If you’re lucky enough to see Coy Harris somewhere, ask him to tell you a little of the history of the museum. He and his son Sheliley Are largely responsible for the planning and construction. Others provided resources but they provided the know-how and execution. And if you’re interested in model railroad, you better plan on two hours or more!

It's not particularly child oriented but I think they would do fine with it. Be sure and not miss the train part of the building where they have all the model trains and there's outdoor areas where they could run off a little energy.

What is admission fee and how much time required to see everything?
A:
It's reasonably inexpensive. $5.00 per person or $10.00 per family. You could spend one or two hours inside, and spend another hour wandering around outside. I think I would …
