Every great adventure needs a starting point, and in Bowling Green that place is the Historic RailPark & Train Museum. Our story begins with movement, the arrival of the railroad that transformed our city into a hub of travel, trade, and opportunity. Today, the RailPark continues that tradition by welcoming visitors who want to explore all the unique attractions Bowling Green has to offer.
When you visit the RailPark, you’re stepping into the golden age of rail travel. From the towering E8 Engine to the elegance of the Duncan Hines Dining Car, our museum invites you to experience the power and romance of the rails. But the journey doesn’t end here. Just as trains once connected travelers to new destinations, your stop at the RailPark can be the first chapter in a day filled with discovery.
After your tour, consider pairing your visit with other iconic Bowling Green attractions that celebrate movement in different forms:
National Corvette Museum: Experience America’s sports car up close, from classic models to cutting-edge design.
Aviation Heritage Park: Explore restored military aircraft and hear the stories of local heroes who took to the skies.
Lost River Cave: Venture underground on Kentucky’s only boat cave tour and see how nature has shaped our region’s history.
Together, these destinations tell a bigger story, one of a city built on innovation, exploration, and motion. Whether by rail, road, air, or water, Bowling Green has always been on the move.
Make the RailPark your first stop, then set out to explore the rest of our community’s treasures. No matter which path you choose, you’ll find that Bowling Green’s identity is rooted in journeys that inspire.
