Do you like trains? Want to hear a unique startup story?

Since 2022, I've been building a unique nonprofit with hands-on creative cultural arts programs meant to honor family history and heritage; and now we’re finally ready to file our city application to bring a real 1927 train car to Murrieta and turn it into an all-ages train museum and art gallery.

Yes! a real 1927 Pullman railroad car! Donated to us by our local train museum in Perris, California 🚂

We’ve hosted community events, received grants, and raised the rest of what we need $5, $10, $20 and sometimes $100 at a time, if someone is is feeling particularly generous…

And you guys...we’re just $4,000 away from being able to reach our next milestone: submitting our city development plan application to place our train car at its future home at a historic and culturally significant space in Murrieta.

And in keeping things real, I'm happy to share two key details:

1) our monthly costs are simple ($152.26 insurance + $33 website)

2) our site plan and submission is being handled by Kolibrien Corp as a generous donation to our organization...

How You Can Help!

We’re looking for local businesses and individuals who want to make a meaningful, tax-deductible impact in Murrieta, California in any amount your business can offer...every contribution helps bring this historic train car (and a new creative space) to life.

As a thank you, donors will receive early access to our location details and a personal invitation to our next "Lace & Locomotives" fundraising event in October 2026 at the Murrieta Hot Springs Resort.
