McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, Railroad museum and park in Scottsdale, United States.
McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park is a 30-acre museum grounds in Scottsdale with miniature trains, exhibits, and a vintage carousel dating to 1950. The space features preserved railroad equipment, historical artifacts, and tracks where visitors can ride behind scaled steam locomotives.
The land was donated by the McCormick family in 1967 to establish a railroad museum for Arizona. This gift laid the foundation for developing a center dedicated to preserving rail history in the region.
The name honors the McCormick family, whose donation made this place possible, and reflects their commitment to preserving local heritage. The park serves as a gathering space where people experience railroad history through hands-on interaction with preserved equipment and structures.
The park grounds are open without charge, though rides on the miniature trains and carousel come with fees. Wide pathways and relatively flat terrain make it easy to walk around and explore at your own pace.
Miniature trains operate on tracks throughout the grounds, powered by authentic scaled steam locomotives that actually run. This allows visitors to experience a working railroad firsthand rather than viewing static displays alone.
