Who needs scissors when you have a 50-ton train?! On Thursday, May 28th, we celebrated a ribbon cutting for the new East Roundhouse at the Age of Steam Museum in Sugarcreek, Ohio. The new facility is framed with steel girders, columns and beams and features an exterior facade that compliments the main roundhouse museum. Each stall includes a 112-foot interior track and radiant heat in the floors to maintain preservation.
The Age of Steam Roundhouse opened its doors in 2010 by railroad enthusiast Jerry Joe Jacobson. Bill Strawn, retired Board Chairman and friend of Jerry, noted his impactful life. “You are standing in the middle of a gentleman’s dream. An entrepreneur, a believer, a preservationist, a gentleman who understood the history of steam and how it applies to our country.”
The Age of Steam offers tours weekly throughout the summer, your inner child will thank you!
