About the Exhibit

Join volunteers from the Standard Gauge Module Association as they display toy trains from 1906 to 1940.  The exhibit is a 448 square foot standard gauge layout decorated for the season, featuring both original and reproduction model trains. Three trains will run each day or night of the exhibit. Night trains which run on Tuesday and Thursday evenings will feature lighted cars. Sponsored by Woodman's and Security Financial Bank.

Make sure to pick up a scavenger hunt sheet when you enter the exhibit to see if you find all the hidden objects on display!
