This is a really cool little non-profit museum. They have some pretty good information on the Atlantic Coastline Line Railroad and other railway related things in the area of Wilmington and NC in general. There are a ton of very cool toy railroad car displays and a couple real ones to climb in and look at. Very child friendly. I'd recommend checking this out.

There’s nothing better on a threateningly rainy day than visiting a museum, or two! And what better place to visit than something historic that continues to affect our every day. The railroad system in the USA made a huge impact in so many different things and the Wilmington Railroad Museum keeps that history alive and well in an interactive way! Hands down, the best “to-scale” working model trains I’ve ever seen! Does not disappoint!!
