Our annual Creepy Caboose event will be held at the Darlington Station on Saturday, October 4, 2025, beginning at 3pm. Join us for family-friendly Halloween fun!

We will have our booth at this year's Fort Ligonier Days on October 10, 11, and 12, 2025. Visit us in front of the old Ligonier Valley Rail Road Station at 339 W. Main St.

The Ligonier Valley Rail Road Museum is one of more than 2,000 museums across America participating in the National Endowment for the Arts Blue Star Museums program, offering free admission to active duty military personnel and their families starting on Armed Forces Day, May 20, 2023, and concluding on Labor Day, September 4, 2023.

The Ligonier Valley Rail Road Association is looking for volunteers to serve as docents at our Museum in Darlington. Docents give tours during Museum operating hours and handle sales from the gift shop during those hours. If you are interested in railroad operations & history or are interested in Ligonier area history, this is a great way to volunteer to help your community. But no experience is required. Training will be provided. If you are interested or think you might be interested, please contact the Ligonier Valley Rail Road Association at our email, info@lvrra.org. Thank you!

The Ligonier Valley Rail Road Association offers all of our supporters the opportunity to puchase a personalized brick to be placed in the brick walkway from the parking lot to our caboose. Your brick will be engraved in honor of or as a memorial to a family member, friend, loved one, group, or organization. The proceeds generated through the sale of these bricks will be added to our capital fund to maintain and update the restored Darlington Station, property, and exhibits. The price per brick is $100. Please email us and we will respond with the order form and instructions. Thank you for your support.
