Nice little museum about Plano's historic trainstation. Inside the museum (old ticket station), you'll see how the train helped the early settlers of Plano. Outside, you get to climb aboard the old surviving car, and take a tour. The museum is located in historic Haggard Park.
I took my two year old and it was a good place for him. A few things to keep his attention like how electric currents work, buttons he could push and things would happen, a small model electric train, and he was able to look at the train outside and go inside of it too.
Nice way to spend an hour or so with kids if you are in the area.There is a lot to learn about the history of Plano and the Interurbans.Suggested donation is $2 for adults and $1 for kids.The folks are all really nice and toured my 2 boys as if they were a full field trip.There is a park next to it, and parking is free.
The Interurban Railway Museum houses displays, pictures and artifacts from the North Texas transit system.
