The society’s 9,000 square foot James H. Andrew Railroad Museum, located onsite, houses many artifacts and displays pertaining to the history of The Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern, Chicago & North Western Railway, and several other lines across our state. The museum has a strong commitment to preservation and education, and strives make a tour of our facility a truly enjoyable and enriching experience for people of all ages.
The Iowa Railroad Historical Society has continued to obtain equipment, rolling stock, and buildings, which are being restored as funding becomes available.
