Santa Maria Town Center Mall

The Museum has a space in the Santa Maria Town Center Mall, located on the southeast corner of Main and Broadway in the center of Santa Maria [Yahoo Map.]. The Museum is located on the second floor, three doors north from the main escalators as you head toward Sears. A docent is available for information as you enjoy the various displays. There is a small gift shop in the Museum (Madson's book,
Railroads of the Santa Maria Valley is available), as well as some model railroads to see. Often, modelers are present working on the HO layout of the Santa Maria Valley Railroad.
