Florida Railroad Museum

The Florida Railroad Museum is located in Parrish, Florida and operates a heritage railroad offering roundtrip tourist excursions along six miles of a former Seaboard Air Line Railway route in Manatee County between Parrish and Willow. Founded in 1981 as the Florida Gulf Coast Railroad Museum, it had been operating weekend excursions out of Parrish since 1992. The Museum is one of three Official State Railroad Museums in Florida with one goal in mind - to preserve railroad history. It operates as a non-profit organization and is open to the public. The excursions from Parrish to Willow last about 1.5 hours round trip.
