Altoona Railroaders Memorial  Museum

You will learn not only about the history of steam and its role in the growth of our nation,but will catch many colorful and informative glimpses of life in the early 19th century when Altoona was first settled by workers for the PRR. The 3 floor museum is actually housed in former shops and offices of the railroad(my dad worked in a first floor corner office- I remember it vividly!). It is organized and presented in an effective style that has something that will appeal to everyone. I was most fascinated by the 2 films, the personal vignettes, the hospital records and information provided by railroad doctor and sites too numerous to mention.
