Plus, on the Monday and Friday of the weeks during, and after Christmas. Note: We will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Check our Facebook page and website for additional times, dates and special events.

What is Night Trains?

The museum’s collection of model trains of all scales and toy trains of yesteryear come alive throughout the Museum (Sorry, no real train rides here). Night Trains Season magic begins as the lights are turned down and the buildings and street lights glow warmly, setting the scene for specially lighted models of operating vintage passenger trains. The make believe towns are covered in snow and holiday decorations are up all over the miniature towns.
