TRANSPORTATION:
NEW this year: take the train to the festival! For one day only, NJ TRANSIT will activate special one-day shuttle service between Denville and Boonton, making it easier for people traveling from Penn Station New York and points in between, to attend our annual celebration of railroad history.
The “Boonton Scoot” special shuttle trains will meet certain regularly scheduled NJ TRANSIT trains to and from New York City at the Denville Station transfer point. Riders may purchase regular tickets to Boonton Station through the NJ TRANSIT app and ticket vending machines. However, real-time arrival and departure information will not be available for the shuttle since it is a special service. Instead, riders can view the full shuttle schedule on the Morristown Line at njtransit.com/scoot.
To get to the event from the Boonton train station, there is a 6-minute, 0.2 mi. walk that includes a modest hill. Alternatively, a shuttle bus will be available direct to the gate, with priority given to passengers with disabilities.
PARKING:
Event parking is available at the Upper Plane Street municipal lot (click here for directions). This lot is located directly adjacent to the Boonton Day street fair on Main Street, and a free shuttle bus will be available to take you to Museum [for a day].
ACCESSIBILITY:
Parking for those with state disabled parking permits is available upon request on-site at 104 Morris Ave. Boonton, NJ. Due to the historic nature of our artifacts, our locomotives and cars and not wheelchair accessible. Our grounds and flat and accessible by wheelchair, although much of the terrain is coarse gravel.
