This is a wonderful little museum located just three miles west of Ligonier. I do want to emphasize…read morethe word "little" since the museum itself is housed in the former Darlington Station, used by the Ligonier Valley Railroad. But though it be small, it be mighty and chock full of exhibits and information. The mission of the museum is to preserve the history of the Ligonier Valley Railroad, which ran from 1877 to 1952, carrying millions of people and tons (literally) of freight. In the name of preserving that history, the museum has collected over 3,000 items, from lanterns to dinnerware to maps to photos...and so on. The volunteers are wonderful and knowledgeable, so I definitely recommend letting them talk you through the highlights of the collection and the railroad's operations. Their storytelling abilities truly brought the history behind this museum to life when I visited; and their insight into the railroad's influence and impact helped me appreciate the area that much more as I walked through Ligonier itself. Definitely take the time to visit this little gem during your next trip through Ligonier. Before you leave, take the time to explore the caboose housed on the property as well!

The wood is injuring the bottom of the fossil. (I think dinosaur lovers would donate the $30k to get Dippy's bones a new resting place.) Researchers come to study the collection. Fork lifts are used to transfer the bones from one surface to the next.

Everything about Fort Ligonier is incredible! When you first walk in, you check in at the admission counter and get a sticker for your admission. On the left is the George Washington gallery that has interesting artifacts like Washington's pistol from Marquis de Lafayette. There is also an art gallery. Artifacts are clearly labeled and well described, but if you want to dig in deeper, they offer guided tours at various points throughout the day. Even if there isn't a guided tour, the docents stationed throughout love talking about anything you have questions about. On the right hand side is the history gallery which takes you through life at the fort and a history of the area. So much to see and you haven't even ventured to the fort yet! When you decide to see the fort, you meander up a path with lots to see. Recreated cannons and guns, fortifications and guard towers. Once you get to the main area, there are several buildings that you can go in to to get a better sense of what daily life was like at the fort. On select days, they even have costumed interpreters on site to give demonstrations and provide additional insight and history. They are also currently doing some archeological digging to learn even more about the site. It is really neat to think that research is still ongoing after all these years. This is a top notch experience and I highly recommend everyone take the time to come and experience it.

Shortly after the relief of being under cover I was mesmerized by the two-story museum and the diverse collection of antique horse-drawn carriages. Not only were the various carriages beautifully restored but they signage was great and the volunteer docent was friendly and informative but not over-bearing. The pride in this collection of carriages from the late 1800s and early 1900s is evident. I liked the whimsical beach-going carriage and the macabre casket carriages. I also found the golf cart carriage interesting. This little museum is definitely worth a visit.
