History of the Napa Valley Model Railroad Historical Society Napa Valley Model Railroad Historical Society, Inc. was formed in 1955
for the purposes of constructing an HO Scale layout and to advance the
hobby of model railroading in the Napa Valley and surrounding areas. The
organization was incorporated in 1966.
The Napa Valley Model Railroad Historical Society has had several
layouts in various locations. Our early layouts included small portable
layouts in the Main Exhibition Building of the fairgrounds during the
fair, and a layout in the old West Napa, Southern Pacific station. In
the early 1960's we had a "permanent" layout in the long narrow
buildings in the north west corner of the fairgrounds, and by the mid
1960's we were building a large layout in the basement of a barracks at
the Veterans Home in Yountville. In 1970, we moved back to the
fairgrounds in Napa.
