    A wonderful model railroad display is the centerpiece of the museum, and it has a lot of information regarding old rail lines and the former trolley system in the Bellingham area. The displays were very informative with several smaller display items to examine.

    Very cool! My young son is a train enthusiast so this place was amazing for him.
