Mission Statement
The mission of the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum is to collect, preserve, operate, display, and interpret railroad artifacts in an authentic setting for the education and enjoyment of the public. We focus on the important and fascinating role railroads played in the history and development of our region.
Description
The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum takes passengers on a trip back in time, to a slower-paced era when railroad travel was a way of life. Customers can relive the romance of the rails when vintage trains provided an escape from the everyday routine. The Tennessee Valley Railroad has been described as a moving museum offering an interactive, historical experience that will add an extra dimension to your visit to Chattanooga’s popular attractions. Visitors can find the only regularly scheduled, full-sized train ride in Tennessee. The Tennessee Valley Railroad is so much more than entertainment... it’s a rolling time machine providing the sights and sounds of yesteryear! We have annual summer camps that take place every year in June and have now expanded in to the last week of May and early part of July. Our goal is to continue expanding programs for passengers young and old to enjoy on property.
