Brother Joe, aka Joe Felin, is very active in the Railroad Museum in Springfield, MO, the city where he and his family have lived for almost 60 years. Joe's group is raising funds to build a replica of a depot for the museum site. The group's charter: “The Railroad Historical Museum Inc. is dedicated to the preservation of Railroad History and heritage of the past and educating present and coming generations." Most of you Dear Readers know Joe spent his whole career in the railroad business and is very knowledgeable about it.
On the very next Joe Felin Turnbo Tour, we plan to ask him to add the Museum as a stop--even though it is a "long way from Turnbo," (one of Joe's expressions for how far the Felin family has ventured from its origins on a farm on Turnbo Creek in Webster County in Southwest Missouri.)

[The causemomentum.org/project itself is interesting. And, unlike many of the crowd funding possibilities, does NOT skim a large percentage of donations off the top.]
