Temple Railroad & Heritage Museum

The Temple Railroad and Heritage Museum sits in the historic Santa Fe Depot and is run by the City of Temple's Parks & Recreation department. It offers permanent and changing exhibits on the railroad's history in Temple, along with education programs, school tours and special events.

The museum is co-located with Amtrak, so visitors can see the depot and the railroad up close. Admission is charged by age, with free entry for children under five and for active-duty military personnel and their families through September 7, 2026. Event rentals are available, and volunteers sign up through the city's VOMO platform.
