Railroad memorabilia fills four rooms of the Ellis
Railroad Museum in Ellis. As an added feature, the museum also houses a 1,650
piece doll display. The museum is complete with a BK&E miniature train
outside that operates a 1/3 scale General Motors Aero Streamliner traveling
along a 2.5-mile track from Memorial Day to Labor Day, weather permitting.
A yellow Union Pacific caboose is located next to the
restored depot, which is used as the train ride boarding point. The museum is
open at various times during the year, check the website here for
more information.
And while in Ellis, stop by another historical
transportation museum – the Walter P. Chrysler’s Boyhood Home and Museum.
Chrysler was born in Wamego, but lived in Ellis from ages 3 to 22. He went on
to lead one of the largest corporations in the world. Find out more here.
