From our Ticket Agents to our Gift Shop team to our Maintenance-of-Way team to our Railroad Operations Department to our Commissary Department to our Car Department and beyond, women are represented in all facets of our operation. They contribute a large number of volunteer hours across these departments to help us fulfill our mission, keep our museum running smoothly, and offer our visitors the best experience possible.
We would love to have more women come out to volunteer with us in whatever capacity that interests you! Please visit our website for many of the volunteer opportunities we have to offer across the museum. We are proud to celebrate the many contributions of women to our organization on this International Women’s Day!
