The North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, North Carolina is a transportation museum devoted mostly to rail history, but it also contains antique automobiles and a few aircraft exhibits. Spencer is a town located in Rowan County, North Carolina. ...
The museum's mission includes all of the forms of transport that affected NorthCarolina, ranging from dugout canoes to horse-drawn carriages to such forms of recreational transport as kayaks and NASCAR.
The NorthCarolina Department of Cultural Resources acquired a small portion of the facility in 1977, followed by the bulk of the property, 57 acres in all, two years later.
Visitors entering the museum drive past a set of entrance gates fabricated from railroad crossing barriers, a telling indicator of the principal focus of this transportmuseum.
