BRING YOUR STUDENTS TO THE MUSEUM!

The Nevada State Railroad Museum Boulder City offers your students a unique opportunity to interact with history. A school visit to the museum includes a FREE guided tour addressing Nevada K-12 standards on history, culture, science, engineering, and technology. Students will have the opportunity to walk through historic rail cars and touch the past. Museum staff work with instructors to ensure each tour is tailored to your curriculum, connecting classroom learning to our artifacts. Tours also include a presentation on railroad safety so that we all stay safe around railroads. Train rides are available upon request for groups of 30 or more for $5 per person.
