This is a wonderful museum showcasing the electric railroad of the area. There is a small but wonderfully curated museum and a gift shop with something for everyone. The museum is free to visit but there is a cost to ride the electric train (absolutely worth it!) You purchase tickets for the train ride at a very neat train ticket counter. There are restrooms and picnic areas. Enjoy the museum and grounds while you wait for the next tram. They usually have two different cars going at staggered departure times. The tram stops at a neat local store called The Elegant Farmer (the baked goods are so good!) You can get off there and pick up the tram again on its way back or you can stay on and ride to the end where the tram switches direction to come back to The Elegant Farmer before going back to the station. There are many cool things to see on the trip, and there is a docent on board who points things out, tells the history, and answers any questions. The whole trip took about an hour and a half. Afterwards, be sure to take another trip back in time and visit the historic ice cream parlor right next door.

Had a great time. Conductors are very hospitable. Interesting railway history. Recommend purchasing tickets online so you have time to look around museum. Will be back again especially for the dinner on the train events.

It was a very nice experience having dinner on the train. The service and food was great. The museum has some nice information and gifts

We went there last Saturday. What an enjoyable experience. The train ride was 1.5 hours long. The conductors were pleasant and very knowledgeable about the history of the railroad. The ride was pleasant and we stopped at the Elegant Farmer for about 20 mins before getting back on the train.

We had a great time. This is a fun thing to do with the grandkids. The staff are so friendly. A lot of history of times gone by!

What an awesome experience! Every employee from the depot to onboard the train was so knowledgeable and very friendly. We had so much fun!

This is a must go! Super unique and great family fun! Museum is small but the volunteers are amazing. Did a lunch train ride. Had so much fun. Would be beautiful in the fall. Food was amazing! Thank you Toothpick Catering!

Nice small trolley and interurban museum with rides and a variety of different rolling stock. The ride was very pleasant and enjoyable with an excellent crew that told the story of the museum.

Visited for the Autumn Glow dinner train. I grew up in East Troy and have had a few experiences on the trains. This was a great date night idea! Food was tasty and plentiful. Recommend to any couple of family looking for something a little different.

Nice little museum room and gift shop. Cool ride on train from Troy and back. Great train car and staff super friendly. Scenery view was pretty boring but enjoyed the old train car and conductors. Good price for family. Took about an hour +. Family of 5 everyone enjoyed themselves.

Great trip on the train, amazing volunteers who work there. Our conductor jim was super nice and had joke's to add to the experience. Bob was our narrator while traveling down the rails. Great person with lots of train knowledge. Highly recommend

Looking for something to do that is unique, fun for the family, and full of smiles. Check out some of the great events at the Eat Troy railroad Museum. It is a nice slow electric train ride from East Troy, WI to the Elegant Farmer in Mukwanago. We have done the Christmas train ride and Bunny train ride in Easter. The conductors are great and on the ride home you get a plush toy for the kids. Price is about $17 per person. But you get a great receptions at the Elegant Farmer with animals to pet, food to eat and Santa or the Easter bunny! Add to it the Elegant Farmer has great food and the best pies in the world! I always spend too much money. Family always enjoys it. A plus would be if the museum was heated. the train is but not the building itself. Also sit on the side where you see the Museum out of the train window, much better views than the other side. I would suggest for Younger kids under 10.

One of the oldest continuously running overhead electric railroads in United States. Volunteer run now by folks that love it. A must see. Call ahead for special events as they sell out. They still run trains now, but you need to wear a mask. Our favorite activity is to have a date night on the dinner train. Food and service are always top notch! Many happy memories and romance are a good combination!

This train is very entertaining if you enjoy riding a train ...

I wanted to book a ride in the dining car for a unique experience and I was not disappointed. My husband and I drove in from Franklin and *almost* didn’t make it in time. Thank goodness we hoofed it to the depot. The train was nice, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Cocktails were tasty (the thin mint is recommended) and the food was delicious. I appreciated all the information available (pamphlets at the table and staff providing tidbits during the trip) and I didn’t realize *how* unique of an experience this was. To think Easy Troy came together to preserve the rail line, the engine, and the cars and that it’s the only one of its kind that’s still running is crazy. Of course I wish the train could go faster, but then I wouldn’t have enough time to eat so that would defeat the purpose :p The museum had some nice gifts and we really enjoyed the dining car. I definitely recommend checking it out.

Absolutely amazing! What a great staff! Cocktails on the train...and absolute. Took a trip with my 86 year old father, and hosted by the Milwaukee Vintage Style Society...the volunteers and staff were awesome to my dad. They left him with an amazing memory and a smile so big. Can't thank them enough.

I really enjoyed this dinner train, the food was good and atmosphere obviously very unique and memorable. All run by volunteers and they were great. I would say the price per person is a little high. But still a great experience and I would recommend it!

This is a unique opportunity for dinner. The dinner train. Departs about 530. Travel about an hour, eat the main course, then head back, about an hour while eating dessert. It’s really cool experience to be on this old electric rail line. Great staff and history. The food was average but it’s worth the experience!

I’ve been here with my kids many times. It’s a fun trip, both back in time and to The Elegant Farmer. They do several themes throughout the year, including the Santa train (where kids get to sit with Santa, Mrs Claus, and an elf or two) and the Bunny Train (featuring the Easter Bunny). Special themed dinner trains are available throughout the year. The primary depot also serves as a gift shop and small museum. The trains are electric and travel around 10 mph. All staff are volunteers and provide history and facts about the trains and the area, during the ride.

This train ride experience was a lot of fun! There is a small museum and gift shop you can visit before or after your train ride. The conductors were very willing to answer questions and got the kids involved by yelling "Allllll aboard!" I would've given it more stars, but the conductors really need microphones while they are presenting information during the ride. We couldn't hear 80% of what he was saying because of the loud clickety clack of the train. It was a fun experience, but I feel we missed out on a lot of history.

What a great experience. Enjoyed every bit of it.

It's a very great place to go. Be right on the train was terrific. The volunteers were very helpful in answering the questions.

The volunteers were very friendly and the train was clean. My daughter loved looking for the elves along the way on the train ride but they were so close to the train that the people sitting on the aisle could not see them. It was a great experience for the whole family but especially my daughter.

We've visited a number of RR museums throughout the country. A few are much larger but I'd certainly rank this one very near the top. Few sites include the three things I consider to be most important but are all standard equipment here: ~Visitors get to ride on beautifully restored, real, antique trains. ~The history is authentic! Not recreated. Cars actually ride on original tracks dating back to very early 1900's. ~Volunteers were amazing, knowledgeable and eager to answer questions outside of their standard presentation. Truly a wonderful experience for kids and RR aficionados alike!

We got on the bunny train. Our tickets weren't together but we luckily ended up seated next to each other because 3people fit on a seat and some families sat all together.

A really good place to visit over the weekend. Kids and adults would enjoy a ride on the railroad trip. Their gift shop has some good souvenirs to pick.

I know you're thinking.....FIVE STARS? I rode these trains in the 60's as a kid from 130 South Chicago to the Loop and Hedgewisch , Chicago, Illinois. It was for pleasure and employment. Remember the Red Caboose pub near the ramp to the trains as u take your carry on cup for the ride home. Thursdays and Fridays were the best.

The museum is nice needs more R.R. antiques. We went for the Electric train ride. We rode to the park, which they had set up with some holloween back drops. They handed out candy to the kids and had games for them to play with a holloween theam.

The museum is pretty small (a few rooms of glass cases and pictures) and I don't think it would occupy little ones unless they're train crazy. But for anyone old enough to read the displays, it's worth a short visit, especially while you wait for a train ride. The intercity electric train ride is very nice, even in hot weather--the windows open to create a nice breeze. It's quiet enough for conversation and the conductor's tour-guide-style announcements.

From the Railway Museum to Mukwonago, you will experience a fun and breezy ride in a 1920's electric trolley. Stops include the Elegant Farmer for delicious baked goods and the Phantom Lake in Mukwonago with a legendary story of the Sauk Indians told by the Conductor. Our particular trip on a Friday evening, concluded with a picnic dinner on the grounds of the museum and a quick walk to a vintage ice cream shoppe.

Have to be honest, kind of a let down. The history is rich and the conductor on our street car had lots to share. Our kids enjoyed the gentle ride between the East Troy station and Elegant Farmer. However, the museum was super small. Not much to do while you waited for the return ride to Elegant Farmer. Elegant farmer was sort of a mess. Very crowded, premium priced market items that in some cases were over priced. It was a little to chaotic for us and didn’t provide much value. Experience the train ride and hear the history. Don’t put much stock in the museum or Elegant Farmer.

Excellent ride. Much history here. Tracks to Elegant Farmer.

This museum met National Park Service standards and received eight of the 19 vintage coaches of the South Shore inter-urban railroad in Northwest Indiana after they modernized in 1984.
