Although it works closely with the SVR, Kidderminster Railway Museum is run by an independent organisation formed by a group of SVR members in 1989. The Museum, which opened the following year, is housed in the 1878 constructed two-storey former GWR grain and wool warehouse adjoining Kidderminster station.

The museum has on display an extensive collection of smaller historical railway items such as signalling equipment. It also has a small collection of rolling stock outside in the vicinity of the relocated Wrangaton Signal Box. The upper floor of the building houses an extensive collection of railway photographs and books.

Kidderminster Railway Museum has a small buffet, and also sells new and second-hand books.

As an unconnected enterprise, The Engine House at Highley displays a collection of larger items such as locomotives and rolling stock.
