  • Boonton Yard 104 Morris Avenue Boonton, NJ, 07005 United States (map)

Museum [for a day] is hosted by the United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey, owners of the largest and most historic railroad collection in New Jersey. During the once-a-year event, the URHS Restoration Facility in Boonton, NJ will become New Jersey's largest railroad museum. Museum [for a day] provides a rare, family-friendly opportunity to admire, explore, and go inside of our historic trains and learn about their connection to the region we live in. 

This year, Tri-State's Morristown & Erie 19 and several of our cabooses will be on display and open for tours!
