The Heart of the Heartlands has dedicated our initial museum building at the Carona Museum Complex to Charles R. “Dick” Webb and his family. Our members are indebted to the Webb family and WATCO for their gracious cooperation and assistance that has allowed our railroad museum complex to come into existence, grow, and become the attraction that it has. Dick Webb encouraged the formation of our club shortly after the purchase of their first railroad and the formation of WATCO.
When in the area, you might also want to visit another area attraction:
