Why Become a Sponsor?

History comes alive when someone is able to visit the places that enable them to touch the past. It is said that we learn from our past in order to achieve greater influence over our future. Southern California Railway Museum (SCRM) has been preserving history, and serving as a model of who we are, where we come from and how we, as a nation and region, got to where we are today.

Rail transportation has played a pivotal role in our nation’s history; it has influenced commerce, culture and the economy for over 150 years. SCRM has been preserving that legacy since the mid 1950’s, bringing the joy and wonder of trains and trolleys to over a million visitors. Located in Perris, California, SCRM’s campus spans 100 acres and includes the largest train and trolley collection in Southern California. Your financial support enables SCRM to give visitors and guests the ability to ride the rails of history.
