All aboard! Train enthusiasts will want to check out Foley Railroad Museum. This depot was built in 1909 and is just a short drive from Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Travel back in time as you enjoy the photos, memorabilia and tools that show the history of the depot.
When visiting the museum, don’t forget to check out the Model Train Exhibit that includes a 1,200-square-foot tabletop display. The engineers behind the display love talking about their creation, so don’t be afraid to ask questions.
