Steamtown National Historic Site

Celebrating the historic significance of railroads in Scranton, the Steamtown National Historic Site is both a museum and a historic railroad. Here you will find a working replica roundhouse and turntable with two of the roundhouse sections being original to the DL&W Railroad of the early 1930’s.

The park is open daily with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day. The Park Entrance Fee is $6 for all visitors 17 and older. For an additional $3 for all visitors 6 and over there is a short train excursion available.
