Foley Railroad Museum

Reviewed By USNavyVet72 - Foley, Alabama

We have lived in Foley for almost a year, but have never gone to the Railroad Museum. We finally decided to give it a try. Wow. What an experience. So much to look at and comprehend about Foley and it's history. Lots of things we didn't know about. The place needs a little more organization and the exhibits need to be labeled better, but overall, just a great trip back in time. They are in the process of getting things organized and probably within the year, it will be even better.

This was out first time to shop Tanger Outlet Foley. I took my 15 year old son shopping there one morning while we were there,because it was to cool during the morning to go to the beach. This outlet mall was so much cleaner and nicer than some of the others that we have been to. The people in the mall office were so nice and helpful, the easy access from building to building was easy and well marked throughout the entire mall. There was a wide variety of stores and great deals. We will be back.

medical info is here. To think that they used these what look like barbaric items to operate and examine the patients. If the industry din't advance you can't imagine.
I was intrigued as to the tools of the trade and you will be too. Well worth the time

Reviewed By ilovecheese1987 - Mountain View, Arkansas

Nice and organized (for a flea market) but it was really over priced. I know this isn't the store owners fault but they could tell their renters that if they'd lower they're prices a little they'd sell more faster. Some of that stuff sits in there for years before someone touches it. I feel I can say this because I know a lot about antiques, as my family goes what we call "Junkin" call the time for many years and collect many things.
