GGHS accomplishes its mission through education, outreach, museum exhibits and “living history” excursions on local narrow-gauge railroads using railcar RGS Goose No. 5.

Background Statement

The Galloping Goose Historical Society (GGHS) was established in 1987. It built a replica of the Dolores Colorado Rio Grande Southern Railroad train station to serve as a museum and office.
