The Warther Museum is a motivational, inspirational experience for your group. Your group will be amazed to learn what one man created with little money or education, but a love of family, carving, and steam locomotives. We have hosted groups since it opened in 1963. We offer special rates and events for groups of 15 or more. Please let us know ahead of time if you are bringing a group to see the museum. It helps us to plan staffing for the day and to be able to greet your group when you arrive. You can make a group reservation by calling the museum at (330) 343-7513 or by emailing us. patrickw@warthers.com
