Become a Member and Support the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum

TVRM membership is designed for individuals who want to actively support and volunteer with the museum while helping preserve historic railroad equipment for future generations.

As a member, you’ll gain access to exclusive benefits and the opportunity to volunteer alongside our crew, assisting with railroad operations, restoration projects, and special events.

Is Membership Right for You?

Membership is a great fit if you:

  • Want to volunteer and be part of museum operations
  • Enjoy hands-on involvement with historic trains
  • Want to support railroad preservation at a deeper level

Looking for rides and museum access without volunteering?
