Click to Zoom

Since the early 1800s, trains have captured the American imagination.  It didn't take long for the model train to become as popular as its full-sized predecessor.  For three weekends this fall, the museum will pay homage to these classic toys with activities and displays that celebrate the railroad.  All events are FREE.  Register to win a trip to Chicago for The Magnificent Mile Lights Festival.  Must attend a minimum of two weekends to qualify.
