Green Bay, WI - Day 5

While commuting to/from the reunion hotel this past week, we've driven by the National Railroad Museum and didn't want to miss it, so we stopped in this morning before hitting the road again. We got there just in time to board an open rail car for a tour around the grounds. Our guide explained the history of the museum and of many of its displays. We then walked the grounds and looked at the old locomotives and the various rail cars on display including a unique Aerotrain (built by GM in the early 1950's), Dwight D. Eisenhower's famous war train and even walked through an old mail car. We also learned a lot about hobo signs (cryptic marks that told other hobos about certain areas). A very nice museum indeed. We're heading off to Sault Ste Marie now. . .

Great travel. It’s true, Green Bay really has a lot to offer – and it has more to offer when it comes to Green Bay Wisconsin hotels. The last time we visited, we did not have to worry about looking for accommodations. The city has a lot of hotels and motels that visitors can choose from. It was definitely not hard to find one that suits our budget.
