Main lobby and display area. Back room with Crush, Tx Crash site video. Lovely tour and information guide. Great for history interested people. Nice spot to cool off while learning about trains and Denison.

There were "things" to see at this museum, and the stories came from the staff or videos to watch. Otherwise, there was not much interaction. The museum is free, but we did not see any box trains to explore. The staff is nice and gave us information about other sights to visit in the area.

Friendly staff who gave us a short but information packed tour based on my elementary children's interests. We viewed a short video about the Crush Crash and they provided a short scavenger hunt. Good way to spend an hour or two and reflect on how technology shapes our communites.
The Red River Railroad Museum illuminates the role of railroads in Denison and North Texas, past and present by collecting, preserving, studying, and interpreting objects, documents, and visual materials.
The Museum disseminates the history of the Missouri Kansas Texas (Katy) Railroad and the importance it played in the creation and growth of Denison, Texas.
A group of forward thinking individuals started the Museum in 1987 with collections being housed in the historic Katy Depot in Denison, Texas.
In early 2021 the Museum joined historic Main Street when it moved to 124 W. Main. The present structure was built in 1879, however records show business has been conducted here since 1872.
