Everybody Finds Something of Interest
Visitors of all ages enjoy the details, craftsmanship, and historical accuracy of the Boston & Maine Railroad HO scale model at the Freight House/Heritage Park Railroad Museum.
National Recognition
In September 2025, Model Railroader magazine devoted an eight-page feature to the Heritage Park layout, from the scratch-built Sanbornville roundhouse to the hand-painted skies. For a museum run entirely by volunteers, it was a remarkable acknowledgment of more than a decade of Wednesday work sessions.
A Railroad Building, Doing Railroad Work Again
The Boston & Maine put up this freight house in Union in 1875, and for generations it handled the ice, lumber, and freight that moved through Wakefield. Today it holds a model of the very railroad that built it.
Come see both.
Free admission, Saturdays and Sundays, noon to 4 p.m., June through September.
