Donations

One of the most valuable donations you can give is your time and enthusiasm. The dedication of the Friends volunteers is truly an amazing thing. We all share a love of Railroading, whether it be operations, history, modeling, preservation or education.

How else can you help? Please consider making a donation to The Friends Of The Valley Railroad. We are a registered not-for-profit organization and could use your help. Here are some recently donated items:

  • CT Valley Railroad Memorabilia
  • Railroad track tools
  • Antique railroad films
  • HO scale Model Railroad items
  • Antique tools and machinery
  • And of course, $$ are always welcome

Could that item collecting dust in your attic turn into a tax deduction? If you are in a position to make a donation, please contact the FVRR for more information.

For additional information, contact Scott Dorman at (860) 930-9880 or mail the following to:
