National RR Museum, Green Bay

[gacuster]

You will enjoy visiting here, they have a nice collection of steam and diesel locos, passenger cars and other rolling stock.  A replica depot houses a large HO model railroad and the grounds along the Fox River are scenic.  Go downtown and eat at Titletown Brewing Co. which is in the 100+ year old ex-C&NW depot.  Also Lambeau Field and the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame are nearby.

I went there last year; it was a nice display.  Some stuff is indoors, some outdoors. The indoor displays are air-conditioned.  The entire place is well-kept and clean.  During summer, there is even an old CNW switch engine that pulls an old coach around the grounds on a little tour.  Nice place.

Can anyone give me a reliable and current update or review of the National RR Museum in Green Bay WI? Several years ago the History Channel ran the "Trains" series which had a lot of scenes filmed at that museum and it seemed very comprehensive and interesting, but now, when I have a chance to visit the midwest to research my ancestors, if find that the museum's website link doesn't work and in a "travel advisor" site I see a scathing review of it.
