Canyon County Historical Nampa Train Depot Museum

The city did a great job to preserve this building; worth a visit to check out the historical museum and trains.

Canyon County is a great place for children to learn all about trains with wonderful train sets to display. In addition, the Canyon County Historical Society puts on an amazing show of the Polar Express movie around Christmas time for everybody in the family to enjoy with a special appears from Santa. They also have a great Halloween event.

Informative and fun staff enjoy their jobs

Unfortunately the museum was closed the day I took my 4 yr old friend. We still enjoyed our day watching the trains from the well-maintained , albeit tiny , grounds near the tracks. The highlight of our afternoon was the conductor waving at my friend from the engine as he was hooking up cars. Nothing could have been more joyful to experience than the sheer delight I saw in his eyes , he felt so special . One simple gesture ..... Who'd a thought could mean so much??

We just had the best time, looking around and sharing with the grandkids. The carriage ride was wonderful!! We're very appreciative!
