SPECIALS
There are many beautiful and charming to communities to visit on Cape Cod, but Chatham is always a popular choice for travelers. It is centrally located and has a myriad of attractions to enjoy. While there is quite a bit of fun to be had in this area of the peninsula, there is also a good deal of history to learn about.
One place, in particular, that caters to all ages and provides a glimpse into the town’s background is the Chatham Railroad Museum. It proudly stands as the only remaining railroad station (converted into a Chatham MA railroad museum) to be found anywhere on the Cape and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As an industry that helped to shape so much of the country’s future, the railroad system has plenty of interesting history to look back on.
Reasons to Visit Chatham Railroad Museum
Before you ever step inside the Chatham Railroad Museum you will be impressed by the architectural construction of the Victorian building it’s housed in. This is enough to make it well worth the visit. Of course, you won’t want to stop there, as what awaits you within is a must-see for anyone even remotely interested in trains and the history of the railroad system.
The railroad museum in Chatham MA is set up in the original 1887 station of the Chatham Railroad Co., which once connected the village of Chatham with the Old Colony Railroad main line in Harwich. Its focal point is the restored caboose from the 1900s that sits out on what’s left of the track, but there are also model locomotives, timetables, lanterns, paintings, telegraph equipment, a diorama of the Chatham railroad yard, and many railroad artifacts on display.
