Good Things to See & Hear
Travel Town is an outdoor museum full of real locomotives, freight
cars, cabooses and passenger cars dating from the late 1800’s. Children
can walk right up to the huge trains and touch the wheels and cow
catchers. All of the trains have been recently renovated, and access
has been made safe for children. There is also an HO gage model
railroad (open weekends) and a children’s train to ride.
Comments
Watching the children’s train go by is almost as much fun as riding it
- take a picnic, sit in the grassy area and watch it go by many times.
