We are open and trains will be running Sundays from noon to 4pm. For the time being we will remain closed on all other days. Following local and state guidelines, please wear a face mask indoors during your visit.

Take Hwy 101 north from the Golden Gate Bridge, or South to San Rafael and follow the signs to the San Rafael bridge which will put you on I-580. Cross the bridge and soon after take the Canal Boulevard exit. Turn left at the stop sign and then left again onto Garrard Boulevard. You will now be heading straight towards the Ferry Point Tunnel, pictured above. Continue, following directions next to that picture.

From Sacramento and points East

If you are coming from the east via the I-80, take the Richmond Parkway turnout (located between Appian Way and Hilltop). Follow the "to 580" signs and stay on the Parkway. It changes names several times but take it all the way to the end. The only decision is right near the end where you have the option of taking "Castro to the 580". Stay left on the Parkway, because it now connects directly to Garrard Boulevard which runs along the side of the BNSF yard. You will now be heading straight towards the Ferry Point Tunnel, pictured above. Continue following directions next to the picture.

Via Public Transportation

To get to the museum via public transportation from the Bay Area or beyond, take AMTRAK or the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) (Richmond Line) to the Richmond AMTRAK/BART station.

Then either take a TAXI, or the 72M bus towards Point Richmond (stop at Garrard Blvd/W Cutting Blvd). The bus runs every 30 minutes in the daytime weekdays and weekends.

Walk south on Garrard Blvd from the corner of W Cutting Blvd in Point Richmond through the tunnel. The road becomes Dornan Drive on the other side of the tunnel. We are located about 1/2 mile past the tunnel on the left across from Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline Park. It's about a 15 minute walk.
