A small but very interesting museum with lovely and extremely knowledgeable staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. They have memorabilia and working layouts on display, with books for sale. Make sure to study the displays on the walls carefully, there are some gems. Some beautiful paintings on the wall by a George Hannon and interesting video of colour film from the 1950s of local railcar journeys. There is a fully restored class 5 engine 'Drumboe' which ran on the County Donegal Railways until 1959. You can climb into the cab and get a driver's eye view. There are also some fun and educational materials and games for kids in the two carriages there. They are currently trying to raise funds for rails so they can get the engine and some carriages up and running, and it would be lovely to see this happening. Costs €4 to go in. Not a bad price at all and any money you spend goes towards getting the rails set up.

We visited on a showery day in early August 2023 and wanted to leave this review because we had such a wonderful time at this hidden gem of a museum. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, they noticed my son was very keen on trains and a gentleman named Stephen, put on the Thomas ride on train for him more than once. He was also very helpful and knowledgeable about the local area, being a true local. The interpretation was clear and full of fascinating stories about the various local lines. My children were thrilled to be able to step onto the footplate of the old engine and we spent a long time playing games in the carriage devoted to children. All topped off with a lovely coffee next door at the Weighbridge. A must visit for anyone coming to Donegal Town.

Rainy day in Donegal with grandchild.Tourist office told us about museum. Great call for an hour of local history and interactive displays. Staff really friendly. Will definitely be back!
