24th Annual Train Show | November 17 – February 19

The magic returns to CRM with the 24th Annual Holiday Train Show. This family-friendly exhibit, created by train artist Steve Cryan, features more trains, new scenery, and lots of surprises to be found in the fully operational 26-foot model train layout.

Visitors are challenged to find a scavenger list of various objects hidden within the settings while the smaller visitor set can get hands-on at an American Flyer and Lionel Train layout designed for toddler size viewing.

The exhibit is a true locomotive extravaganza and a perfect outing for train fans and all who are young at heart.

Free with museum admission
