Where Every Ride is a Trip Through Time
Preserving the Past, Building for the Future
We are located at 5515 Buffham Road in Seville, Ohio (near Chippewa Lake). Here, on nearly 63 acres that includes a two-mile section of the historic Cleveland, Southwestern & Columbus Railway right-of-way, the museum is pursuing its mission to collect, preserve, restore, display and operate streetcars and other railway equipment for the education and entertainment of the public.
