      Do you hear the train coming? All Aboard!
      Don’t miss out on this New England holiday tradition. The family-friendly Train Show exhibit is back for its 30th year at the Connecticut River Museum and is sure to surprise and delight visitors of all ages. See what train artist Steve Cryan has created this year! A fully operational nearly 30-foot train layout, “I SPY” scavenger hunts, and a toddler-sized viewing layout are all part of the fun!
      NOTE: A members-only Train Show Opening Event will be held from 4-6 p.m. Nov. 21. Stay tuned for more information on the event opening.

      Join the Museum for a delightful panel discussion featuring members of the Connecticut River Gateway Commission. Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Gateway Commission operates within a 21,500-acre Conservation Zone which encompasses the Connecticut River estuary, its shoreline, and the landscape up to the first ridgeline. Gateway’s impact comes in part through its ability to influence zoning standards as a tool for protecting the visual, including scenic and historic, qualities of the lower river view shed.
      Its success was not assured, and in fact, there were many challenges.

      Admission: Members – Free | Non-Members – $5.00
