DONATE TO THE CABOOSE

 The Palmerston Railway Heritage Museum is currently continuing work on restoring our caboose and we need your help!

We have been working hard to restore the caboose to its original condition and make this train car a suitable space to share with the public. 

We are currently offering a complimentary Town of Palmerston Train Pin with each donation. (Tax Receipts available upon request for donations over $20)

If you wish to make a donation you can visit us and donate in person, or contact us to donate remotely.

The Palmerston Railway Heritage Museum is a non-profit organization managed by volunteers.
