About the Society

Incorporated in October of 1998, the Haley Tower Historical & Technical Society, Inc, is an accredited non-profit organization dedicated to the goal of preserving and displaying materials and information related to the railroads of the greater Wabash Valley area.

Our goals, in brief:

Accomplished:

Purchased the vacant land adjacent to the tower.

Secured 503(c) status with the IRS.

Secured the rights to Haley Tower after its closure on October 22, 1999.

Removed Haley Tower from railroad property, thereby saving it from demolition.

Purchased Spring Hill Tower and moved it to the Museum site.

Immediate:

Continue fundraising through offering memberships, soliciting private and corporate
contributions, and the sale of Haley-related merchandise.

Promote awareness of our project.

Long-Term

Accurately restore Haley's and Spring Hill's exterior and interior.
Build and open a museum of railroad history and memorabilia, with Haley and
Spring Hill as its centerpiece.

This listing is by no means an exhaustive or exclusive agenda for the Society, but rather a quick rundown of what we hope to accomplish in the future. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.
