We are a volunteer run, non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve history, educate the public in the history of transportation, and provide our visitors with an opportunity to experience travel as it used to be.
The WHEELS Museum Development Office is the administrative branch of the WHEELS Museum. The WHEELS Museum will be opened in phases as funds come in for each phase. We are dedicated to preserving Albuquerque's rich history as a railroad/steam engine site and include all forms of transportation in how Albuquerque, New Mexico and the Southwest grew with rapid advances in transportation. We are an all-volunteer agency working to restore the old Storage Warehouse building where the WHEELS Development Office is located.
The Wheels Museum Development Office is located on the site of the historic Santa Fe Railroad Shops in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. Built in 1914, the Albuquerque shops serviced steam locomotives operating on the Santa Fe Railroad.
The Wheels Museum will become an attraction to countless thousands of visitors while at the same time provide the citizens of Albuquerque and New Mexico with a new and exciting place to shop, enjoy a concert, have dinner and - most importantly - to re-visit and learn again about a very special part of their New Mexico heritage.
Wheels Museum board meetings are held the second Wednesday of the month and are open to the public. Please call Leba Freed at 505-243-6269 if you wish to attend in order to confirm the time and place.
