TVRM Receives Capital Grant from Tennessee State Museum

The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum (TVRM) is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a significant Capital Grant from the Tennessee State Museum! This exciting development marks a pivotal moment for TVRM, further solidifying its commitment to preserving and celebrating railroad heritage. Tennessee State Museum Director Ashley Howell and Representative Yusuf Hakeem recently visited the museum to show their support and present the funding check to TVRM Education Coordinator Charles Googe.

A Major Milestone for TVRM

This unique funding appropriation is part of a $5 million program passed through the Tennessee General Assembly, specifically designed to assist museums across the state with ongoing site support. For TVRM, this grant represents more than just financial assistance—it is a recognition of the vital role the museum plays in preserving the rich history of railroads and educating future generations.
