The National Museum of Transportation

A nonprofit organization

The National Museum of Transportation is an independent nonprofit museum focused on preserving and showcasing the unique transportation-related artifacts in our care. Our 42-acre indoor and outdoor campus is home to more than 100 rail cars and engines, dozens of automobiles, multiple jet planes, a full-size towboat, and other artifacts that bring to life the history of travel from the mid-1800s to the present. Every year, we welcome nearly 250,000 guests to our Museum from around the area and around the globe.

 

We request your help opening the Museum to underserved children free of charge through ALL Aboard. ALL Aboard provides complimentary Museum tickets to families in need. Partnering with child-focused local charities, we provided tickets for more than 20,000 guests in 2024. A gift of $10 sponsors one ALL Aboard ticket for a child and caregiver. Please consider sponsoring one, 10, 50 (or even 100!) tickets and help us spark a love of learning in the next generation!

Mission

The National Museum of Transportation will be the leader in protecting and interpreting North American transportation heritage. As stewards of our heritage, we will provide engaging education programs, create interactive and interpretive exhibits, and conserve transportation history for the next generations.
