Members help sustain this local organisation while enjoying many outstanding benefits throughout the year.

The County Donegal Heritage Museum aims are to develop and promote a robust and dynamic railway heritage facility, which will be of interest across a wide section of society, but particularly to the local community. We wish to keep the history and unique heritage of the County Donegal Railways alive through the running of our Award Winning Museum and the economic restoration of rolling stock and traction. We contribute to Donegal Town and the wider area through being a major part of Donegal’s tourist offer, creating employment, bringing investment into the area, being an important community asset used by all, playing an important part in the cultural life of the town, and being a mecca for railway enthusiasts globally! As a charity like many heritage groups, we would not exist without the support of Members and the wider public.
