Wilmington Railroad Museum displays model railroads, including a modular model railroad and exhibits that hold a Guinness World Record from 2011. Visitors explore outdoor rolling stock, museum displays, and a children's area while taking audio tours through the galleries. The Welcome to Railroads art exhibit and historic photographs document the region's rail heritage, with archived stories including the Legend of Joe Baldwin and details about architect Powell. Scavenger hunts and model hall activities engage younger guests exploring the collections.
