WHITE RIVER VALLEY MUSEUM HOSTS ANNUAL MODEL RAILROAD SHOW
celebrate the trains that helped shape Auburn and surrounding areas with our family-friendly Annual Model Railroad Show offering hands-on experiences for all ages. Admission is $3 for adults, $2 for children and seniors.
There are so many fantastic model railroads from G scale Lionel to N scale that the museum is unable to hold them all! The Model Railroad Show takes place both at the museum and directly across from the museum in the Auburn Senior Activity Center, 808 Ninth St. S.E.
In addition to enjoying the model railroads, take a step back in time to 1920s Auburn with the museum’s permanent exhibit “Auburn Depot, 1924.” The exhibit includes a Northern Pacific Railroad depot and caboose. Imagine warming up near the pot-bellied stove and overhearing the telegraph operator sending messages. Inside the caboose you can check out the conductor’s work area and play checkers. You can even pose with the conductor for a photo!
