Post subject:  another IMLS railway museum Learning Grant

After reading the brief about RR Museum of PA, I looked over the entire list of IMLS 2003 Learning Opportunities Grants. There actually are two grants to railway museums. These are:

Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania - Strasburg, PA - $58,313

South Coast Railroad Museum - Goleta, CA - $19,868

The South Coast Railroad Museum is in the relocated SP Goleta depot. This is a classic SP two-story wooden depot. This depot, near Santa Barbara, has one caboose on the track next to the depot. It also has a full-time director and a very deligent effort to obtain grant funding.

Also from the IMLS site are the grants that the South Coast Railroad Museum has obtained over the recent years:

2003 Learning Opportunities Grants - $19,868
2002 General Operating Support - $27,439
2001 Museum Assessment Program - Institutional Assessment - $1,775
2000 General Operating Support - $21,679
1997 General Operating Support - $18,000
