🍺 Help Make History at the Winlock Historical Museum’s First-Ever Egg Day Beer Garden! 🏛️

This year, we’re trying something new.

For the first time ever, the Winlock Historical Museum will be hosting an Egg Day Beer Garden as a fundraiser to help support the museum and preserve the stories, artifacts, and history that make our community special.

We’ve invested in this opportunity and are excited to see if it can become a fun new tradition for Egg Day. We’re hoping the community will come out and help make our first year a success!

📍 Located between the museum and the car show

🕛 Open immediately following the parade until 4:00 PM (Saturday, June 20th)

🍺 Every beer purchased helps support the museum

⭐ Museum memberships available for just $25

💵 CASH ONLY (ATM conveniently located next door)

Whether you’re a longtime Winlock resident or visiting for the day, we’d love to have you stop by, enjoy a cold beer, visit with friends, and help support local history.

If this first year is successful, we’d love to bring it back for future Egg Days.

Thank you for supporting the Winlock Historical Museum and helping keep our community’s history alive!

Over 100 years ago, trains like this were the lifeblood of small towns like Winlock.

This incredible photo of the old Winlock train station, believed to date back to around 1912–1915, has now been brought to life through animation. Watch as the image slowly turns to color… and then the train comes roaring through town once again. 🚂

It’s hard not to wonder how many people stood on this platform over the years — heading off to war, coming home to family, starting new lives, or simply passing through our little town.

Check out our latest Winlock Historical Museum newsletter where you can read more about the history of the trains in Winlock and their impact on our community.

History isn’t just something you read about. Sometimes, for a moment, it comes alive again. ♥️

Our Spring 2026 Winlock Historical Museum newsletter just went out to our members, and we thought we’d share it with the community as well.

This issue includes a story about how the railroad helped build Winlock — written by our own board member, Lesa Givens — along with historic photos from the museum archives.

If you enjoy learning about the history of our town, consider becoming a member of the Winlock Historical Museum. Membership helps us preserve and share these stories for future generations.

Annual memberships start at just $25.

Winlock didn’t just grow beside the railroad… it was built because of it.
