Donations
Donations are how it all happens. The success of the Illinois Railway Museum, a non-profit 501(c)3 educational organization, is due to the support of its members and patrons. IRM depends on help from people like you to fulfill its preservation and educational mission. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.
There are plenty of ways that you can help.
