Wilmington Railroad Museum
OUR MOVE PRESENTS THE FOLLOWING OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE
You now have an opportunity to honor or remember a member of your family, or to have your business name be prominently displayed on a part of Wilmington history. The Wilmington Railroad Museum met the exciting challenge of moving all of our artifacts, ranging from a pencil to a 100-ton steam locomotive, into a different building or onto new tracks with minimum disruption for Museum visitors. As you can imagine, this is a complicated and expensive process. You can become a part of Wilmington history and at the same time help us by sponsoring one of the following activities. Pick the one you want before it is spoken for. Don?t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity.
