  This is a great place to visit especially if you or your kids like railroads or old steam engines. We have brought our daughtersince she was 2. My parents loved Hesston with their old steam engines. I would highly recommend a visit to Hesston Steam Museum for an afternoon of fun.

  If you like trains this is a really fun afternoon. No a museum experience. But fun train rides. Something for adults and kids.

  Hesston does not cost much money. They have 4 different train rides. Halloween & Christmas are the best. Love the shop they just built, turned out very nice. Our kids enjoyed old-fashion icecream. Nice relaxing time for the family!

  If you are traveling near I 94 or the Indiana Toll Road, you owe yourself a vista to Hesston!! This small but wonderful place is easy to get to & a great enjoyment to young & old that enjoy steam trains and more!!We have visited this museum often and enjoy it very much, take a ride thru their woods on hand built steam locomotives, or just wonder in and out of the many exhibits they have on the grounds!!

  If you love steam engines, you need to visit Hesston! Staffed by volunteers who are there for the love of steam powered locomotion, you can ride the rails on large trains or miniatures. The tracks take a scenic tour of the northern Indiana woodlands. The park is free, and ride tickets are inexpensive. Make sure you stop by the old fashioned soda shop while you are there!

  Great place to ride many old vintage trains of different sizes - small, medium and large to miniature. Steam or diesel. Rides on the big train are a little under 10 minutes. I didn't time the smaller trains. For safety reasons, Photography & Video are not allowed on the miniature trains. $17.00 for an adult ride ticket good for 4 rides on any train you want to ride on.I went Labor Day Weekend (Sunday) which coincides with their Steam & Power Show. A $5.00 admission is charged only during this weekend. There are old cars, trcuks and tractors on display throughout the 3 day weekend. THere is a hay bayler there and other heavy equipment that demonstrates what it does..There are vendors set up selling old toys, trains, antiques and rusty Gold (Junk).There is a small ice cream parlor on the premises. During this weekend there were a few food vendor wagons set up. At 3pm there was a Tractor Parade, some of which dated back to the 20's and 30's.The museum runs trains that once operated at Brookfield Zoo (IL) and Kiddieland Amusement Park (Melrose PArk, IL ). All the people working here are volunteers. Plenty of parking in a grass field.Great place to take the kids and grandkids........or your dog..

  If you love trains and antique tractors this is the place to visit. They have three operating railroads, featuring equipment from the Brookfield Zoo and the Kiddieland Amusement Park. The best time to go is Labor Day Weekend, when everything runs! This is a must see!

  When in northern Indiana or southern Michigan, I highly recommend a visit to this museum. It's not only about the trains..... they have a great selection of steam and diesel locomotives you can ride behind in every scale from 1.5", 7.5" gauge, all the way up to 30"... but they also have a unique collection of vintage stationary steam devices like steam cranes and vertical boilers... all in operating condition!
