 The
James H. Andrew Railroad Museum & History Center at the Boone &
Scenic Valley Railroad is a
beautiful 9000 square foot facility featuring a research library,
theater, and displays featuring memorabilia from all eras of
railroading in Iowa. With displays of track equipment, toy
trains, dining
car china, passenger train timetables, lanterns and more, our museum
truly does have something to interest everyone.

honored to be able to shine a spotlight on Norman "Si" Simons. | |
