We enjoy visiting museums and this is a very special gem! Take a stroll down memory lane at the Historic Railpark and Train Museum as you see the many artifacts, train cars, and even the building itself was an L&N depot station. The museum is self guided, but highly recommend taking a guided tour of the train cars. If you have a train enthusiast in your life, definitely recommend this stop on your next adventure!

It was a cold day after an icy night before - museum was a great indoor activity. We had a personalized tour as we were the only ones in the museum at that time. Really enjoyed walking through the restored train cars and learning about the postal car and Owney the mail dog. Also enjoyed the museum exhibits (self-paced) about Rosie the Riveter, Pullman Porters, and more - all set in an old railroad station. Well-appointed store and a model train display. Would like to go back when the hospital car and caboose are done being renovated.

I think the tour has great historical value! Being inside a dining car, and actually standing in that small space, gives you a whole new perspective of how hard all of the porters had to work. The "kitchen" was an amazing feat, given the tools they had and the work they did. Sometimes in our modern world, we forget...this was a great reminder of how we are so spoiled in travel now.

We took threIt was very enjoyable. Our tour guide ( can't remember her name) was very friendly & knowledgable. Enjoyed gong thru the different train cars.

museum was nice; the HO train setup was excellent! but the best part was the train tour. our guide (i forget her name), was knowledgeable and took the time to answer every question we had. i was especially surprised by the mail car's uses and the small size of the first class accommodations in the passenger cars. this is a nice tour for any with an interest in trains.

If you love to learn history, this is for you! See how mail was once delivered, and compare it to today.

I learned so much about not only this line but the history of the railroad in general. My tour guide was excellent & passionate about the subject matter.

Interesting museum - unusual to have a 50 minute guided tour of the interior of a nice collection of rolling stock. In our case, it was a private tour, as we were the only patrons at the time. Our docent was very knowledgeable and informative. They have a classic US Railway Post Office car fully stocked as it would have been back in the day. As a kid in the 50's I was amazed to watch it come through our home town and snag the canvas bag of outgoing mail. Rail buffs will enjoy this museum.

Our tour guide was insanely knowledgeable about the history of the L&N railroad. We loved the tour but two of the cars were being painted so those cars had noxious fumes and little air circulation which cut things short. The indoor museum was small but informative. Most amazing train track display I have ever seen is next to the gift shop. All you Thomas the Train fans need to visit.

This is a great little museum! We arrived at opening time and did the first tour of the day. It was just the 2 of us taking the tour so it was very informal. We learned a LOT about the history of rail service. The museum was small but informative. The gift shop had unique items. I don’t recommend this for large groups or small children. The train tour doesn’t have a lot of space.

This probably would have been a great adventure but we missed the tour because had to sit in traffic for 2 hours to get the due to road construction 🚧. The museum is nice though and the trains outside are really 👍🏽..My husband still enjoyed it. This is his passion he goes to sleep watching train videos on YouTube..haha

This tour was terrific. We had a great guide who provided new information to us in an interesting manner. One of us needed extra time and the guide was very helpful. So glad this attraction has been preserved. We Loved our experience.

Our tour guid was Nancy and she was great. She had so much information and made the tour great. Would definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys train history.

This is an amazing place. Lots of history. The guided tour was phenomenal and very educational. I highly recommend this stop on your vacation.

My kids and I had a great time! Our tour guide did a really great job telling us about the history of the train and how things worked. My oldest son was excited to see the different train cars. This is definitely worth the trip!

The guided tour was worth the time and money...our guide was young but she packed a lot of info in our walk through the train. Each car had some great stories-things you would have otherwise missed. I've enjoyed the history of railroads my whole life but I picked up on some new things I had never heard of...

The museum was very informative. The guided tour of the antique train was amazing. Great photo ops. The indoor train display blew us away.

Our tour guide was FULL of knowledge. This is a super cool place and enjoyed seeing all the train cars. The inside museum was full of information and displays. Not super kid friendly as there was not a lot of interaction inside.

This place is super cool! The tour guide was extra knowledgeable about the train cars they have on the property that you can tour as well as historical facts as well. You get to actually get on several train cars that are very well preserved as well as the museum (self guided) that is located within the old train depot. Just a great place to visit and highly recommend!

If you interested in railroads, history, or just curious, you shouldn’t miss stopping in at the Railpark in Bowling Green. The Louisville & Nashville train station has been beautifully restored and has an interesting history. The guided tour is well worth the investment of time and money, how many time do you get to walk around inside an E-7 locomotive, or see a fully restored business coach? All of the cars on their display train have been done down to the smallest detail. The gift shop and HO scale train layout is a great way to end your tour. If you’re a model railroader you might even pick up some ideas. I encourage you to stop in and check it out. You’ll be glad you did.
