Foley Railroad Museum & Model Train Exhibit

The Foley RR Depot opened in 1905 and after a fire destroyed that Depot in 1908, a new Depot was built in 1909. That 1909 building is the one you will visit at our venue. The Depot Museum displays history of the city and the RR in Foley. In a separate building, behind the Depot, is the Model Train Display which is open on Saturdays only 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

COVID-19 regulations are in effect. Please wear an appropriate mask and social distance.

Described as one of the top public exhibits of toy trains in the country, Foley’s Model Train Exhibit is free and enjoyed by kids of all ages.

The museum-quality exhibit was featured in the September 2019 issue of Classic Toy Trains Magazine.

At the Foley Railroad Museum you can take a look into the Foley’s history as well as the history of Baldwin County. The railroad played a major role in the prosperity of the area.

The trains are operated by talented volunteers called the Caboose Club. Members of the Caboose Club lovingly care for not only the 35 locomotives and countless cars but the scenery, buildings and other nuances housed in the museum.

The Foley Railroad Museum features an amazing Model Railroad set-up complete with detailed landscapes and small town scenery along the 1/4 mile long track

Besides this model train layout and historical items inside the museum, they also offer train rides around Heritage & John B. Foley Parks, where the museum is located.
