"We Have Out Grown Our Facility..."

Due to the success of our Railroad Museum we have outgrown our present facility.
We have an opportunity to expand our museum and make it bigger and better than
ever but it requires some help. We are attempting to raise the amount of $60,000.00
which would allow us to move across the street from our present location & restore
the old railroad passenger depot in Pasco, Washington to its former look & size. This
larger facility would allow more area for exhibits, displays, photo collections,our
extensive library, & other currently stored railroad artifacts.
The Railroad Museum would benefit both young and old alike. It would also attract
numerous visitors from outside the area by becoming a major tourist attraction which
will benefit the whole Tri-City community. Museums are cultural institutions that
preserve our heritage. Your help and support in making this become a reality is
greatly needed and appreciated.

The New Museum would return the depot to its former shape & size.
This would provide the most space and would be historically accurate.
