After a year of being closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a brighter, enlivened Railroaders Memorial Museum is ready to receive visitors at its 1200 Ninth Ave. location and at the world famous Horseshoe Curve.
Local residents are encouraged to visit both locations to see what’s new, different and improved, said Executive Director Joseph DeFrancesco. The improvements in exhibit artifacts, videos and a general “refreshening” happened during the closure through the efforts of volunteers under the guidance of new staff specially trained in historical curation.
“We are excited the museum has three credentialed staff members who have used their curatorial abilities and training to make detailed improvements,” he said. The Curve opened Friday and the museum opened March 19 for the 2021 season.
