Railroad Museum Sets Opening

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, will begin welcoming visitors on Friday, April 30, with reduced hours of operation and limited capacity. Effective April 30 and until further notice, the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania will be open on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.

As the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania and other Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) historic sites and museums are opened to the public, operations will be adjusted to provide a safer environment for staff, volunteers, and visitors and to prevent or mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Several guidelines will apply at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, including the requirement of a face mask for anyone who seeks to enter the museum, the practice of social distancing, limited capacity, hand hygiene, and frequent cleaning and disinfecting.

Anyone not willing to wear a face mask will not be admitted. Anyone who is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, including fever, cough, chills, sore throat, fatigue, shortness of breath or loss of taste, should refrain from visiting until they are symptom-free.

No events or gatherings, including exhibit openings, special events and facility rentals, are scheduled at this time in order to give staff the opportunity to re-acclimate to regular operations before holding events. An update will be provided when events may again be scheduled. Visits for school groups, including groups of homeschoolers, will resume in the fall.
