The Mid-Continent Railway Museum is located in North Freedom, Wisc. just south-west of the Dells. It suffered severe flooding last year when the Baraboo River overflowed; the river runs right alongside the property. However, the museum appears to have recovered pretty well, and the grounds generally look great. You probably wouldn't notice any evidence of flooding if you weren't looking for it.
Mid-Continent has always been expert at passenger car restorations, particularly their fine collection of wooden cars. Most of the restored cars are effectively displayed in the coach shed, as seen here.We didn't have time to ride the train this time, but it's scenic and enjoyable.
Like IRM, MCRM has been unable to operate steam for a few years, but work is progressing. Meanwhile, some of them are nicely displayed outside near the depot.A visit to Mid-Continent is highly recommended if you're ever in the Dells area. And the website has lots of useful information.
