Details: Calling all train enthusiasts — and train-curious families too! Drop in for an exciting hands-on experience with the National Model Railroad Association Midwest Region / Central Indiana Division. Kids and grown-ups will love seeing elaborate model train layouts, learning how they operate, and discovering the fascinating world of railroading in the United States, both past and present.
Model train experts will be on-site, displaying their personal collections and helping visitors explore everything from train technology to layout design to operations. Families can dive into a fun mix of STEM + history + imagination. If anyone in your family loves trains or you’re looking for train activities or events, this is perfect!
Learn about our own local railroad history — including the important role of trains in the Fort Benjamin Harrison community. The original depot still stands today (repurposed!), holding stories that help unlock a deeper look at the people who lived, worked, and traveled there.
Whether you stop by for five minutes or stay to chat with the pros, this is a fantastic indoor family outing that inspires curiosity and creativity.
