I go to Phoenix all the time and this a first for me. What is at the museum? What are your hours? Any ties to the light rail? If not, why?

I’ve lived in the Phoenix area since 1960 and this is a new one on me. I am a docent at the Commemorative Air Force, AZ Wing so I know how a museum can struggle until it gets known. We have 10 times more visiters now than we did before we got leadership who knew how to utilize the free advertisement available to 501C orginizations.

Just north of the city core - about 1/2 block north of I-10 = Papago Freeway, on the western side of N. Central Avenue, opposite the Phoenix Public Library, on the south side of W. Culver Ave., behind the Arizona Humanities Council (?). The Phoenix METRO Light Rail is in N. Central Ave. out front, with a station about a block north on the south side of McDowell Rd. I walked past this museum on the other side of N. Central Ave. about 1-1/2 years ago, and didn’t see the slightest clue that it was there.

A better site might well be over in Scottsdale with the other railroad museum there.

Established in 1979 and still not known about in the community it is located in? I live in Tucson, have since 1993, and am not a frequent visitor to Phoenix but had never heard of the museum

I just googled the website and the first thing I see is “closed for the summer”. When is it open?
