Silver Canyon Rd Bishop, CA , 93514 Phone: 760-873-5950 Website Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior, and designated by the State of California as Historical Landmark # 953, the Laws Railroad Museum and Historical Site (4.5 Mi. North of Bishop on Hwy 6) is not just another train museum.
Located on the site of the Laws Railroad station and rail yard, the land, 1883 depot and other buildings, and the last train, were donated to Inyo County and the City of Bishop by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1960.
At the time that the railroad shut down its operations, the village of Laws which had grown up around the rail yard had disappeared. That village has been recreated by moving in historic buildings from around the Owens Valley.
Nearly 50 historic structures on eleven acres surround you with objects of pioneer life, including the Slim Princess #9. Travel back in time and experience daily life.
Take a ride on the restored historic Death Valley Brill Car No 5. Each 15 to 20 minute ride is narrated by a museum docent. Offered on select weekends. See our train ride schedule for details.
