This historic train station has been reimagined as a transportation-themed educational space where the Museum’s young guests can learn through hands-on play. Nickel Plate Station houses a custom-made modular railway table, a light table, train books, and games, as well as rotating exhibits throughout the year. Volunteer responsibilities include greeting visitors and making sure children play safely.

“As a local nonprofit with a small staff, we’re grateful for the generosity of our volunteers who help keep the Museum running,” said Kristen Fries, executive director of ECM. “Because this opportunity is limited to just a few hours once a week, it’s the perfect introduction for new volunteers, especially retirees who have a little extra time to give.”
Individuals interested in volunteering are invited to contact Fries at education@edwardsvillechildrensmuseum.org or 618-692-2094.
