NORTHWEST OHIO RAILROAD PRESERVATION, INC.
11600 County Rd. 99, Findlay OH 45840 Phone: 419-423-2995 Email: nworrp@sbcglobal.net |
Established in 1998 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation for the preservation, promotion, and education of railroad history in Northwest Ohio. NWORRP is unique among railroad groups in that we incorporate a diversity of interests - from model size, to quarter-scale, to full scale. We believe each aspect communicates the importance railroads were to our national and local history, and combining all of these interests together allows a better understanding of the positive impact railroads have in our everyday lives. Our projects are made possible through the hard work of our volunteers and the generosity of donors. All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law and are appreciated by our members We have quarter-scale train rides (diesel on Saturdays and steam on Sundays), a gift shop, a museum, a Lionel layout, and an HO layout in progress. Please call 419-423-2995 or email nworrp@sbcglobal.net if you have any questions or need directions. We hope you'll visit us many times in 2010! |
