The Mid-continent Railway Museum is a living museum that lets families experience the small town railroad way of life. There are displays of restored passenger cars and freight cars from 100 years ago, as well as an operating train which offers excursions for passengers.
Train trips depart from a historic, restored 1894 Chicago & North Western depot. Passengers take a scenic seven mile, 50-minute round-trip ride on a former branch of the C&NW Railroad. The Baraboo River Valley is beautiful during the fall, and the scenery will be enjoyed by parents and children alike.
