Monticello Railway Museum

Railroads are an iconic symbol of America's ingenuity and independent spirit. The Monticello Railway Museum is dedicated to preserving and educating the public about railroading history, with a focus on central Illinois. Visitors can see how rail travel has changed through time, and even ride the rails themselves. Dogs are allowed throughout the museum's common grounds, and you can even hop the train with your best furry bud. However, your pet must be leashed and under your control throughout your visit, and he can't come with you into any buildings. Please make sure that you clean up after him promptly.
