Virginia Museum of Transportation executive director Bev Fitzpatrick says as he prepares to retire, the museum is in much better financial shape than when he arrived but still facing challenges.

Fitzpatrick says its finances are now stable, thanks in large part to attendance that has more than quadrupled in that time. More from WFIR’s Evan Jones:
