This is a wonderful little museum located just three miles west of Ligonier. I do want to emphasize…read morethe word "little" since the museum itself is housed in the former Darlington Station, used by the Ligonier Valley Railroad. But though it be small, it be mighty and chock full of exhibits and information. The mission of the museum is to preserve the history of the Ligonier Valley Railroad, which ran from 1877 to 1952, carrying millions of people and tons (literally) of freight. In the name of preserving that history, the museum has collected over 3,000 items, from lanterns to dinnerware to maps to photos...and so on. The volunteers are wonderful and knowledgeable, so I definitely recommend letting them talk you through the highlights of the collection and the railroad's operations. Their storytelling abilities truly brought the history behind this museum to life when I visited; and their insight into the railroad's influence and impact helped me appreciate the area that much more as I walked through Ligonier itself. Definitely take the time to visit this little gem during your next trip through Ligonier. Before you leave, take the time to explore the caboose housed on the property as well!
