The Flat Rock Model Train Depot and Museum attracts visitors from across the state and from Ohio as a perfect destination for marveling at the many trains and dioramas on display. The unique museum currently features 15 trains running simultaneously and incorporates the history of the trains that the auto icon Henry Ford actually brought to Flat Rock, the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton/ DT&I, (the electric railroad connecting Detroit, Toledo and Ironton) which hauled glass, parts and other materials for his factories.
Not-for-profit organizations like the Train Depot and Museum have also become an ideal spot where those without the space or financial resources to fully immerse themselves in this hobby work collectively on a massive layout that gets routinely viewed by museum visitors. The team that cares for and curates this iconic mechanical display takes great pride in bringing a part of our youth and history to life through the magic and wonder of toy trains.
The Flat Rock Train Depot and Museum is located at 28700 Arsenal Road in downtown Flat Rock and is open to the public, Saturdays from October through April and by special arrangement for school groups. Themes are changed at least three times a year, Christmas, Halloween, and Thomas the Tank Engine.
