The railroading history of the Sparks area is front and center at the museum and cultural center, with train cars, a depot and a display commemorating the work of the Chinese rail workers. Exhibits and presentations also explore the ranching and mining roots of the region, and there is an interesting section on how Sparks has contributed to the nation's exploration of outer space. The museum offers a gallery with changing exhibits as well as a schedule of speakers and educational programs.
