Become a Member
Membership is the most meaningful way to support the Bluegrass Railroad Museum — and it comes with real rewards. Ride free all season, get early access to special events, and become part of a community dedicated to keeping Kentucky's railroad heritage alive.
Be Part of Something That Keeps Rolling
A ticket buys you a seat on the train. A membership makes you part of the railroad. Members are the backbone of the Bluegrass Railroad Museum — the people who show up, who come back season after season, and whose support ensures that our all-volunteer crew can keep the locomotives fired up and the excursions running from April through December.
When you become a member, your annual dues go directly to track maintenance, equipment restoration, educational programs, and the day-to-day costs of operating a real working railroad. In return, you ride free on every regular excursion, get priority access to special events that sell out fast, and stay connected to everything happening on the railroad through our member newsletter.
"Membership is also required for all volunteer train crew members — the first step toward becoming an engineer, conductor, or brakeman on the Bluegrass Railroad."
Whether you ride once a year or every weekend, membership is the best investment a railroad enthusiast in Kentucky can make.
