Chatham Railroad Museum, Chatham

If you love trains and railroads, you're gonna want to stop here. A great spot filled to the brim with exhibits all about the history of trains on the Cape. The best part is the interactive component, which makes it super fun for kids and adults. They have a telegram machine, old signal phones, old ticket stampers, a train horn you can sound, and a caboose parked out back you can explore mad get a real feel for train loving. Amazing to consider how important trains were to the development of our country and how now they are so backseat.

Fantastic little museum with interesting trinkets and a well-informed curator. I've never used a telegraph before, so the interactive one they had to try was so cool. Also, they have a retired and restored caboose that you can get inside and tour. The video inside the caboose did a great job covering the history of the railroad and was well edited to be thorough, yet concise. Overall, this was a quaint short stop that captured the Chatham spirit.
