Highlights of this all-volunteer-operated
Museum include:
The Museum Building itself — once a depot
and
substation for the Interurban Railway.
Car #8 - "Merlin" - an actual interurban car which
once ran through Coopersville on the electric Grand Rapids, Grand
Haven and Muskegon Railway (1902 - 1928). The car recently underwent
exterior restoration and is beside the Museum building. The recent $5,000 Evans Memorial Award for Historical
Preservation has allowed interior restoration to begin.
