National Railroad Museum
Specialty Museum · Green Bay, Wisconsin
A railway museum on the Fox River in Green Bay, founded in 1956 and recognised by a joint resolution of Congress in 1958 as the National Railroad Museum — a naming recognition rather than any federal funding or Smithsonian affiliation. It holds more than seventy pieces of rolling stock and over a hundred thousand artefacts, and the collection is stronger than its regional visitor numbers suggest: a Union Pacific Big Boy, one of only eight left of the largest steam locomotives ever built, and the British streamlined locomotive Dwight D. Eisenhower with carriages from Eisenhower's wartime command train.
