Donations

Help preserve New England’s railroading heritage!

Although we rely on our volunteers for labor, our operating expenses and needs are an ever-present concern. Any donation of cash or tangible goods is always appreciated. The Railroad Museum of New England, Inc., is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation, and our tax number is 23-7229704.

Your continued support enables the Museum to remain strong!
