Since 1964, the Milwaukee and Northern Railway Historical Society (MNRHS) has been dedicated to promoting the hobby of model railroading, especially O-scale, 2-rail. We also endeavor to preserve and share the history of one of Eastern Wisconsin’s and Upper Michigan’s historic railroads.
Housed in the Milwaukee & Northern’s 1882 Neenah, Wis., depot, it includes the Neenah-Menasha Model Railroad Club.
The Club loosely models the Milwaukee & Northern in O Scale, primarily the Menasha Branch.
The Menasha Branch, which runs from Hilbert Junction, Wis., to Menasha, Wis., was completed in 1872. The branch was extended to Appleton in 1880 and Neenah in 1881.
