Edgerton Model Railroad Room - A Community Treasure

Within the Edgerton R-Center  is an historic model train room that dates back to 1950. The dazzling displays deftly depict Rochester and many of its natural and built landmarks, in all four seasons.  

The Edgerton Model Railroad Room was launched on October 27, 1950, when Governor Thomas E. Dewey officially opened the "Model Railroad Heaven" with a ceremony that included his driving a miniature "golden spike" into the exhibit's track!

The Model Railroad Room was created at the tail end of Rochester and America's bustling train travel era. Although trains aren't as commonplace in Rochester as they were back then, the magic and mystique of trains persists for many--young, old, or in between. The Edgerton Model Railroad Room is a must see-- for train buffs, and for those who could be!

For further information, including hours, please visit Edgerton Model Train Clubsite or call Edgerton R-Center.

Thanks to the volunteers of the Edgerton Model Railroad Club for stewarding this community treasure.
