Riverhead Railroad Museum of Long Island

The Riverhead Railroad Museum of Long Island is the larger of two facilities that are part of a single railroad museum. The Riverhead section is located on 416 Griffing Ave, just east of the Riverhead LIRR station, in Suffolk County, New York. The other facility is in Greenport.
==History==
Founded in 1990, The Railroad Museum of Long Island (RMLI) is dedicated to the restoration, preservation and interpretation of the history and artifacts pertaining to the railroads which participated in the growth of Long Island, its communities and industries for the entertainment, edification, and good of present and future generations.
The RMLI's Riverhead location is also known as their Restoration Site & Visitor’s Center which is located on the historic property of the Corwin & Vail Lumber Company and also occupies land that once made up the Long Island Rail Road's “Riverhead Yard.” 
The museum contains numerous exhibits such as rare passenger and freight cars as well as locomotives and the bridge of a turntable. It also features a 16" gauge Allan Herschell Park Train riding train from the LIRR Pavilion of the 1964 - 1965 World's Fair. The museum also hosts several indoor and outdoor model layouts including the Historic Lionel Layout, an "O" Gauge model train layout that was donated to the Museum by Lionel L.L.C. in 2009. The 14' by 40' train set is based on the 1940s Lionel Showroom Layout from New York City. It was constructed by Lionel employees in 1992 and operated at Lionel's facilities in Chesterfield, Michigan through 2008. The museum's centerpiece is the frame, wheels and tender of an LIRR G5s 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler" steam locomotive numbered 39, which is currently being restored to operation.
The museum is now open from 10am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays from Memorial Day to Thanksgiving.
