Steamtown offers a unique opportunity to get an intimate acquaintance with the history and people of steam railroading.

Steamtown National Historic Site is very popular with tour and education groups (Scout troops may plan a Group visit at regular rates, but we no longer offer programs for Scouts). All organizations and groups need to make a reservation at least 6-8 weeks prior to visiting Steamtown. Keep in mind that due to limited staffing, the number of groups we can accommodate on any given day is limited.

To schedule a group visit, please contact our Group Reservations Coordinator by calling (570) 340-5339 Monday thru Friday during regular business hours, or click here to send email.

Did You Know?
When boiled, a cup of water creates about 1,600 cups of steam! When the resulting steam is contained in a vessel such as a steam locomotive boiler, it can create up to 300 pounds per square inch of pressure. Learn more about steam locomotives at Steamtown National Historic Site!
