March Break
All Aboard!
Pack your bags and take a trip on the rails at the Museum of Industry this March Break.
As you begin your trip, look up to see our G-scale train circling overhead in the Foyer.
Meet Samson, an 1838 steam locomotive, Locomotive 151, an ingot train, Locomotive 5, a steam yard locomotive, and Albion, a steam locomotive dating from the 1850s.
Can you find the bear in the woods at our interactive HO-scale model railway set in a detailed industrial landscape?
Young children can gather for Train-themed stories, a puppet show and a look at some of our railroad artifacts including the brass whistle from the 1838 Samson. What might it sound like? Receive your own wooden train whistle to take home.
