Due to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 virus, in the best interest of our visitors and staff, the Union Pacific Museum will suspend public access starting March 14, 2020. All programs and tours have been cancelled until further notice. We are committed to the health, safety, and well-being of our visitors, volunteers and staff. We look forward to seeing you when the danger has passed.

Create, learn, and play! Until further notice, First Fridays will happen virtually on Facebook and on this web page. Check in for interesting histories, activities to do at home, and ideas to stave off cabin fever.
