Preserving Ohio’s Transit Heritage All Year Long

While our museum grounds in Seville are closed for the winter season, activity at the Northern Ohio Railway Museum continues behind the scenes. Our volunteer crews are hard at work on equipment restoration, and our education team is active across the region.

Bring Local History to Your Classroom (K-8), Library, or Event

Looking for an engaging educational program this winter? The Northern Ohio Railway Museum’s education department is booking off-site presentations, school outreach programs (K-8), and interactive history exhibits across Northeast Ohio. We bring hands-on artifacts and local transportation history straight to your classroom, library, or community group.
