Nestled in the heart of northwest Indiana, the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum stands as a beacon of historical preservation and education in the world of railroading. As a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the rich railway heritage of the region, HVRM offers a unique glimpse into the past through its extensive collection of rolling stock, educational exhibits, and scenic train rides.

Why Donate?

Your donations are vital in helping us maintain and restore our historic railroad equipment, develop new exhibits, and continue to offer educational programs. Every dollar contributed aids in preserving this important piece of American history for future generations to experience and learn from.

We are committed to the preservation of Indiana's rich railroad heritage. Our collection includes vintage locomotives, passenger cars, cabooses, and freight cars, each with its own story. Restoration and maintenance of these artifacts are both time-consuming and costly, and your donations directly support these essential efforts.

Your support not only helps us preserve history but also allows us to create immersive experiences. From scenic train rides through the Indiana countryside to special event days, your donations make it possible for us to offer these unique experiences to the public.
