What is the Meridian Rails Historical Society?
Meridian Rails Historical Society was founded in 2020 with a mission to KeepTheirStories and the history of Meridian, Mississippi, alive. The organization’s main mission is to create a well-established railroad museum, complete with a children's area, excursion train opportunities, model railroading classes and much more! In addition to the museum, our organization also strives to ensure the preservation and restoration of any railroad equipment relevant to Meridian's history.
