The Northwest Railway Museum will open the Train Shed’s doors as well as a tour of Chapel Car 5 Messenger of Peace free of charge on Saturday, Sept. 23, and will have discounted train excursion tickets as part of Smithsonian magazine’s 13th annual Museum Day Live.

Museum Day Live is an initiative in which participating museums across the United States emulate the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington DC-based facilities, which offer free admission every day, and open their doors for free to those who download a Museum Day Live ticket.

The Northwest Railway Museum invites visitors to visit the Victorian train depot and the Train Shed, and are offering a tour of Chapel Car 5.

Over 200,000 people downloaded tickets for last year’s event, and the 2017 event is expected to attract more museum-goers than ever before.

Visitors who present the Museum Day Live ticket will gain free entrance for two. One ticket per email address is permitted. For more information about Museum Day Live 2017 and a full list of participating museums and cultural institutions, visit Smithsonian.com/museumday.
