All aboard! The Great Holiday Train Show is back at the New Castle Historical Society. This year, you can watch the Pere Marquette #1225 circle the North Pole, follow the MetroNorth engine passing through a holiday village, or look for all the details in our expanded LEGO town. This unique holiday exhibition features something for the whole family!
For the young and the young at heart, we offer a train-themed scavenger hunt, a play area with hands-on trains, and a reading nook with train-themed books to enjoy together! And don’t forget to stop by our shop before you leave to find the perfect holiday gift.
In addition to the lights and sounds of model trains, visitors can view historic photographs, holiday cards, and children’s toys from the NCHS collection and enjoy festive holiday decor. The rooms of our historic house are festooned with full-sized holiday trees exquisitely decorated by Perennial Gardens, Peter Atkins and Associates, Leslie Stricker Garden Design, Coco Kanakis Design, and Claudia Mulas Architect.
Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable gallery attendants are always ready to answer your questions and make The Great Holiday Train Show a cherished family experience. Join us this holiday season as we celebrate the magic of the holiday season and the important role that trains played in shaping New Castle, Westchester, and the entire lower Hudson River Valley!
