Celebrate 70 years of railroad history, preservation, and community.
Join us on Saturday, July 18th, 2026 at 5 PM to celebrate the Museum’s 70th Anniversary with our once-in-a-lifetime Celebration Fundraiser!
This special evening fundraiser invites guests to experience the Museum uniquely, while enjoying food, beverages, and activities stationed throughout the property. After the activities close, come inside the Fox River Expansion for a delicious pig roast dinner by Biebel’s Catering, take part in auction opportunities, and see the winners of the Drumhead Design Contest during our dinner program. Opportunities abound to explore the Museum after hours!
Whether you’re a longtime supporter, railroad enthusiast, or first-time visitor, this milestone celebration offers a memorable evening for friends and colleagues while supporting the Museum’s mission as we move into our next 70 years educating our students and holding our collections in public trust.
Seating is limited and available in several options, including Heritage Tables (8 guests @ $1,200), Legacy Tables (4 guests @ $650), Patron Pairs (2 guests @ $300), and Individual Supporter (tickets @ $125 per person).
Join us as we honor our past, celebrate the present, and help keep our legacy in motion.
