Who We Are

The Milwaukee Road Trail is the official web site of the nonprofit corporation of the same name, also known as "TMRT". We are incorporated in Washington state, and recognized by the IRS under IRC 501(c)(3) as a public charity.

Our Mission

The Milwaukee Road Trail is dedicated to:

• To preserve and distribute Milwaukee Road history, including the railroad, it's communities, people affiliated to either, and all places along the Milwaukee Road.
• To promote economic development of the communities along the Milwaukee Road.
• To encourage and promote development of the Milwaukee Road (MR) for recreational use.

Our Plan

To accomplish these goals, we plan to:

• Provide a web tour of the Milwaukee Road, showcasing its current and historic value to the public to attract visitors and recreational use.
• Assist communities to address visitors needs to promote greater interest.
• Present web views to local, personal, and railroad history of the Milwaukee Road, now currently pocketed in poorly funded, limited access historic societies.
• To promote the Milwaukee Road Trail to National Historic and Scenic Trail status, by keeping people informed of what they can do to make this happen.
