The Railroad Museum of New England

The Railroad Museum of New England (RMNE), located in Thomaston, Connecticut, is dedicated to preserving the rich history of New England's railroad heritage. Established in 1968, the museum aims to educate the public about the important role railroads played in shaping the region's development. With a collection of historic locomotives, cars, and railroad artifacts, the museum offers a unique glimpse into the past through both static displays and live train rides. RMNE operates the Naugatuck Railroad, providing scenic train excursions while also offering educational programs and special events that engage visitors of all ages. Their dedication to preserving history and fostering community engagement makes them an invaluable partner to Sun, Moon, & Stars, Inc., especially in providing sensory-friendly experiences for families on the autism spectrum.
