About The Historic Railpark and Train Museum

The museum sits in the L&N Depot and covers the railroad heritage of the Bowling Green region. Visitors can view, handle, and explore railroad artifacts in a self-guided museum on the first and second floors. A guided tour takes visitors through five historic railcars and lasts about 45 minutes. The site does not offer train rides. It also hosts events, group tours, and private rentals at the depot.
