Ohio - US Air Force Museum, Peacekeeper Rail Garrison Car
Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Oh - (Yes, there really is a railroad exhibit here! Only one, but the museum is worth visiting anyway.) On December 19, 1986, the White House announced President Reagan's approval to develop a rail garrison system for basing
part of the Peacekeeper Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) force. To increase survivability of this force, 50
Peacekeepers would be deployed in existing Minuteman silos and 50 more would be mounted on 25 USAF trains, two per train. One of the cars is on display .

Ohio - Warther Museum and Gardens
Dover Ohio - A world famous collection of wood and ivory carved models of steam trains, created by Ernest "Mooney" Warther. Mooney's first fifteen carvings were of bone and walnut. In 1923, he was able to purchase ivory. On fourteen of these, he recarved the bone pieces out of ivory. From then on, he carved walnut, ivory and ebony. The last ten years of his life he carved only in ivory.
The Warther Collection is unlike any other in the world. The Warther Museum showcases sixty-four of Ernest Warther's ebony, ivory, and walnut hand-carved masterpieces. In addition to his carvings, the collection contains his wife, Frieda's 73,000 piece button collection, Swiss-style gardens, and 5,500 piece Native American arrowhead collection.
