The ALCO Heritage Museum has moved.

The grand opening for the first museum June 10, 2012 was a resounding success. More than 3,000 people attended and saw the fruits of two years of hard work by our dedicated volunteers. Limitations of the building surfaced over the first winter requiring our location to change. We are now located within the Walter Elwood Museum in Amsterdam, NY.

We are also continuing to gather resources and information to make this site, and the museum, world class destinations. If you have interesting ALCO artifacts, from a photograph to a locomotive, we are ready to give them a good home. Contact us. And if you’re a former ALCO employee, or have family stories related to ALCO, check out the Oral History Project. We’d like to capture your memories for posterity.
