Safety Town is a children activity museum, located next to the Huntington Railroad Museum in Huntington, West Virginia. The museum focuses on road safety and transportation safety. [2] [3]
In the early 1970s, the Safety Town program was established by Miller Elementary School. After five years, in 1975, Huntington purchased property near Old Central City to extend the program. [2] After opening, the museum's campus resembles a small town including a barn, gas station, church, post office, houses, and a school building. [4]
The My Brother, My Brother And Me podcast, including Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy, and Griffin McElroy, went to safety town with Stephen T. Williams, the mayor of Huntington, West Virginia. [5]
