This family-friendly place is a 60 acre site filled with immersive exhibits & special events. Four exhibit buildings represent the remaining structures of historic Spencer Shops, once Southern Railroad's largest steam locomotive repair facility on the east coast. The massive, 90,000 square foot Back Shop, where steam locomotives received complete overhauls, now features aviation and automotive exhibits. The Bob Julian Roundhouse, with 37 stalls, is the largest remaining roundhouse in North America!
