Whippany Railway Museum

The Whippany Railway Museum is a nonprofit museum dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history of rail travel and transportation. Designed to delight visitors of all ages, the museum features exhibits that explore the role of railways in shaping local and regional life, from early steam engines to mid-century railroading.

One of the museum’s highlights is the excursion train ride, which lets guests experience the charm of rail travel firsthand as vintage equipment rolls along a scenic track. It’s a great way to engage with history, spark curiosity, and get a taste of an era when trains connected communities across the NJ Highlands and beyond.

Two trains from different eras sit on tracks in front of the museum.
