North Dakota - North Dakota State Railroad Museum

Mandan,ND - In 1974 a railroad committee was formed within the Morton County Historical Society. During 1986 the Railroad Museum Historical Society was established from the original committee.

In 1985, Kenneth and Darlene Porsborg of Mandan, ND donated four acres of land for a museum in the NW part of Mandan. Also that year Burlington Northern, Inc. donated the yard office from Mandan and with the assistance from the Morton County Historical society the yard office was moved to it's current site.

The North Dakota State Legislature in 1989 designated the museum in Mandan as the North Dakota State Railroad Museum.

The Railroad Museum is located off of Interstate 94 at Exit 152 in Mandan. Go one mile west on Old Red Trail, then turn left on 37th Street and then right on 30th Avenue. Follow the Brown "RR Museum" signs
