The National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation Tribute Program gives you the opportunity to honor a loved one, friend, or business associate on occasions of sympathy or happiness, either as a memorial gift or as a birthday anniversary or congratulatory present.

- 2) Upon receipt of your gift and instructions, your order will be processed by our Development staff. If we have any questions, we will contact you directly.
- 3) Once the transaction is complete, we will mail the tribute certificate to the recipient, as well as sending the person donating an acknowledgement with tax information.
