The following text is from the Museum's website, www.mononconnection.com/. I'd certainly recommend the museum if you are in the area. I didn't eat at the restaurant, but it looked to be at least worth a try.

The Monon Connection Museum and Whistle Stop Restaraunt, located 1 ½ miles north of Monon,IN. on Hwy. 421, offers a world class collection of artifacts and memorabilia from the railroads bygone era. Museum exhibits include an exquisite display of dining car china and silver, hundreds of hand-held lanterns, some dating back to pre Civil War, dozens of immaculately restored brass steam locomotive bells and whistles, a completely furnished, full size replica of an Illinois Central depot, plus numerous other authentic pieces that will enable visitors of all ages to relive a time when the railroad was the king of the transportation industry.

The Whistle Stop Restaurant, which is adjacent to the museum, offers a full service menu that includes a variety of sandwiches and dinner entree’s , homemade pies, top quality hand-dipped and soft-serve ice cream, all served in a comfortable and theme related dining room, or on the outside dining patio under an intricately designed steel gazebo.
