Excellent short history by the depot guide. We would definitely recommend stopping by to learn how the train has affected Aiken.

This is my third time at this museum in about 10 years. All the dioramas have captions and displays that tells the story of the railroad that takes to Charleston with details taken from old photographs. At the ground floor there is a souvenir shop.

GP+3 Explorers - Todays challenge for the grandchildren was to find one thing that interested them and afterwards we would each share what we liked and learned. My wife has compared a museum visit to a ‘smorgesborg’ saying you can easily be overwhelmed by the volume of choices, quickly losing interest. Todays visit to the Visitor Center/Train Museum was a pleasant exception. Amazingly they carried a single theme throughout the two floors of the reconstructed train station and the adjoining park. As an adult you are immediately struck by the spectacular 1899 architecture. The grandchildren were drawn to the displays. They showed no boredom or request to leave. Staff was friendly and helpful. After playing with a toy train and watching the genuine antique (full gauge) Lionel moving display the staff suggest we take the grandchildren on a Scavenger Hunt upstairs in miniature dioramas of all the train stations along the Aiken RR Line. Our entire group got involved in the hunt for specific items on the printed list. Additionally there was a multitude of buttons to push and audio phones to listen to presentations of history and train related memorabilia. The facility also provided several “Reading Nooks” complete with comfortable chairs and wide selection of train related books. Unfortunately, the book store was sold out of several books grandpa would have purchased as souvenirs. Unique Visitor Center, excellent-educational single themed museum in a beautiful setting. Definitely coming back. Post visit: 12-yo. commented on the multi interactive activities to hold your interest. 10-yo. said the best part was the Scavenger Hunt. The 3-yo. was so happy that she found the black cat that non of her fellow explorers could spot.

We stopped by the Visitors Center ands Train Museum. We had a treat time. Lots of information. A train downstairs to watch and a number of train signs upstairs with a locomotive running through them on a loop . The daytime a nighttime effect was a nice touch. You can tell a lot of thought went into the museum. They do have a couple of passenger cards on the platform but none on tour. The scavenger hunt of the train scenes is a nice touch. (Never did find the peacock) It is a good place to stop if you are just getting to town. The staff was great.

Aiken really needs a Real Train Station with real dining cars and real transportation. I was born a few blocks from this station. My grandfather and uncle (the originator of the original pool hall chili 1st served at Jimmy the Greek's restaurant) used to work for the railroad (and Mayor H. O. Weeks). I remember when my uncle John and aunt Rosa Lee first took me on the train. The dining car was so beautiful and filled with lace and finery. Now I see the dining cars in corners unused. Shame. A restaurant would be so nice there in one of the Dining Cars.

View a caboose, and some passenger cars, along with a model train taking a scenic route about a small town. Get information about the city of Aiken, along with maps and pamplets of interest. Don't forget the gift area as well. Very pleasant and most informative.

This is a museum dedicated to the train on rails that had served the Aiken area for decades. Trains still do but, much more limited in scope. The models of towns serviced by trains is truly a spectacle to see and to hear. The volunteer staff loves their job and are a pleasure to engage with to learn about history and trains.

Go to visitaikensc website and do slash calendar/event/aiken_historic_tour for information about buying tickets for the tour.
Is there a fee to visit the museum? What is the cost?
