Foley Railroad Museum & Model Train Exhibit

The Foley Railroad Museum & Model Train Exhibit offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad to the city of Foley and Baldwin County. Housed in the meticulously restored 1909 L&N Railroad Depot, the museum features photographs, tools, and memorabilia that document Foley's history as a thriving agricultural center. The museum's exhibits highlight Foley's role in World War II naval aviation history, as many fighter pilots trained at Barin Field, an auxiliary training center for Pensacola Naval Air Station. A newly expanded exhibit showcases photographs, artifacts, and information telling the story of Foley during the conflict. The highlight for many visitors is the 60x20-foot 'O' gauge Model Train Exhibit. This expansive display features a quarter mile of track and a mile of wiring, along with 84 freight cars, 50 passenger coaches, and a replica of the L&N Hummingbird. The museum is located within Heritage Park, a green space that hosts many of Foley's annual events.
