Founded in 1994 by Leba Freed, the Wheels Museum is a treasure trove of Albuquerque’s transportation history. Housed in a historic 1914 Santa Fe Railyard freight building, the museum showcases over 10,000 fascinating artifacts that chronicle the evolution of transportation in the region. Leba Freed, with significant early support from Mayor Joe Craig who worked alongside her for about a decade on planning and funding, established the museum as a prominent local institution.
On August 1, 2024 the Wheels Museum provided a guided tour to the Los Ranchos Historical Society by Leba, followed by ample time to explore.
The Wheels Museum is located at 1100 2nd Street SW, Albuquerque.
