It was wonderful to take a ride on a piece of history. The hosts were great and the Kentucky scenery was beautiful. The museum was fun and educational, and we really enjoyed the model train. We are so fortunate that so many volunteers and lovers of train history are willing to do what they do to make this opportunity available to us all. It truly takes an army!

Your interest will vary based upon how much you like railroad history. The out-and-back excursion is relaxing, but the scenery is fairly static. I highly suggest visiting, but I'm not rushing to make plans to return. One important point: if you like old rolling stock, the collection here is outstanding! Most of them need a lot of restoration and you can't get in them, but I was impressed at the sheer quantity available.

Great experience! Santa was fantastic. We had an 5 year old Autistic child. Santa, and Ms Clause was so nice, let him go at his own pace. We even got a picture. That’s a big deal!!! Thanks!! We will see you all again next year.

I have a service dog that would be coming with us upon our visit in April 2019. Question is what do I need to be aware of upon our visit? We plan to ride the train as well as visit the museum
