Breaking News: TVRM has purchased a building adjacent to the Grand Junction campus for a future display and education facility. Funding came from long time TVRM benefactors who recognized the transformative nature of the building. When opened to the public this building will enable TVRM to be open, even if not operating trains, 363 days per year. Additional planning for developing exhibits, programming, and enlarging of this building will take place over the summer with the final plans being unveiled at our 60th Anniversary celebration September 10, 12, 18 & 19.

In the past few years (basically, since Tim Andrews became President), TVRM has bought up quite a bit of property. They bought some warehouse buildings by East Chattanooga, then the former NMRA building and then the office building that will be the Southern / L&N archives, and now this building. Quite impressive!!!

Like I would assume many people who've gone there, I never even noticed that building the last couple of times I've gone to TVRM and didn't know it was there until I just saw that photo here.
Great news!

I was honestly thinking "ok, now what are the two days closed...probably St. Patrick's Day and Grandparent's Day..." :P
