The 2023 Great Holiday Train Show

November 18 - Jan, 07 2024

The New Castle Historical Society brings the community together with the return of a cherished holiday tradition: The Great Holiday Train Show

Back for its third year, The Great Holiday Train Show welcomes the young and the young at heart into the enchanting world of model trains amidst an intimate, historical setting. Housed in a hidden gem of a residence-turned-museum in downtown Chappaqua, the 19th-century Horace Greeley House has been reimagined into locomotive splendor for the season. 

Charming trains winding through festive villages and miniature landscapes await visitors in each period room. To make this year’s visit extra special, new additions feature magical Harry Potter LEGO scenes of Hogwarts Express, Platform 9¾, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and one spectacular custom-made holiday tree train –over six feet tall with six trains running on six levels.
