The genesis of the Bellingham Railway Museum can be traced back to early 2003 when a group of local railroad modelers joined up with local railroad history enthusiasts to set up a G gauge layout and history displays in the American Museum of Radio and Electricity. By the end of the year the group registered as a Washington State non-profit corporation and also became a Federal non-profit organization under section 501(c)3.

Increased public acceptance led to a move in early 2004 into the City of Bellingham’s Downtown Parkade facility. Currently the Museum has a two year lease at the Parkade location…until February 2010.

From Day One, the Mission of the Bellingham Railway Museum has been to provide the community with an accessible and enjoyable link to railroad heritage, history and operations. It strives to do that in a safe and friendly family environment that allows visitors or all ages to look, listen, experience and learn.
