We invite you to participate in the National Railroad Museum’s 14th Annual Rails & Ales Brewfest on Saturday, February 10th, 2024, from 6-9 PM. Rails & Ales promises to be a wonderful night of beer, wine, and food sampling, surrounded by historic train cars. We anticipate approximately 400 guests at our 2024 event and are currently in search of silent auction items to either raffle off individually or to add to combination baskets.  

Since 1956, the National Railroad Museum has offered railroad-themed historical exhibits and interactive educational programming that engage learners of all ages. As a nonprofit and a registered 501(c)(3) organization, the museum hosts fundraising events such as Rails & Ales throughout the year, which help to support our mission. Although the Museum has a Congressional designation, we receive no government funding subsidies to support it. We rely on admissions, memberships, program fees, grants, and private donations to fund this educational and historical treasure.
