Now Arriving: Holiday Trains at Wenham Museum

With the cold wind blowing, its time make tracks to see the holiday train displays at the Wenham Museum.  


First to arrive is the Snow Train to Bakersville, a G-guage holiday model train layout where Snoopy and the gang skate across a tiny pond, old-fashioned cars fill the gas-lit streets, and tiny clothespin people cheerfully visit throughout the snow-covered village as the train clatters by.   
Scheduled Arrive: November 26 
Scheduled Departure: January 26.

Next, imagine the Gingerbread Express model train traveling through a sugar-coated village filled with cleverly-crafted buildings: a candy candy factory, pizza parlor or even a green grocer, make the world a sweeter place.  
Scheduled Arrival: December 7
Scheduled Departure: December 15    

Visit on December 11 from 1-4 to deck out delicious cookies* baked by our friends at the Wenham Tea House with frosting, sprinkles and whimsy.   *This program is very popular and will run as long as supplies last. Call ahead.

Open Tuesday - Sunday 10 AM - 4 PM.
$8 Adults, $6 Children, Members always free.
