Smithville’s Railroad Museum is chock full of engaging exhibits of authentic railroad artifacts, all of which tell Smithville’s railroad story from its first one-room office through the large second and third depots, until the end of passenger service and the maintenance facility in Smithville. Stories are told through pictures and newspaper headlines, video and exhibits of railroad disasters, the Railroad YMCA where transitory workers stayed, and loads of railroad lanterns, telegraph keys, typewriters, passenger tickets, and other items used in day-to-day operation.
