• Dedication of Mad River & NKP Railroad Museum
• 3rd Annual Car & Truck Show

The Mad River & NKP Railroad Museum in Bellevue, Ohio will be dedicated to the memory of Bill Fuehring on June 21, 2008.

Bill was one of the primary founders of this museum, which was opened June 25, 1976 as one of Bellevue's lasting Bicentennial projects and is now the largest railroad museum in Ohio. Bill was a dreamer, refusing to believe anything was impossible when it came to obtaining and preserving the history and lore of railroading for future generations.

After Bill's passing in October, 2006, the officers and Board of Directors decided to honor his memory and devotion to the museum with this dedication. The ceremony will take place at 1pm on June 21, 2008 at the museum. The public is invited to attend. This ceremony will occur just 4 days short of 32 years from the time Bill officiated at the original opening of the museum. Following the ceremony, musical entertainment will be provided by Steve Jeffris from Indianapolis, Indiana. He is a friend to Bill and the museum. Admission will be free for the day.

The Mad River & NKP Railroad Society is a non-profit, public-supported organization which owns and operates this hands-on museum, where you can see examples of many facets of railroad history. Learn how the railroads helped develop our country, see how military troops traveled by rail in World War II, see how a railway post office worked, sit in a coach that traveled through Bellevue daily, see the first dome car ever built and a dining car where you would have partaken in a delicious, freshly prepared meal. Volunteer members restore and renovate historic equipment and buildings and staff the museum.
