The Southern Museum is currently planning its third annual Trains, Trains, Trains event for January 19, 2013. Last year, this event surpassed standing records for single day admissions (almost 1500 visitors in 6 hours!) and gift shop sales. What started in their education center has grown to take over the entire 45,000 square foot museum demonstrating the great interest for trains within the community. Appealing to families and model railroad enthusiasts alike, Trains, Trains, Trains offers an array of fun and education through hands-on activities. Every year, the Southern Museum strives to grow this event to make it bigger and better than the year before. This year, their goal is to have at least 7 different operating model layouts. Overall, we wish to continue development and expansion so as to make this program the museum event that people look forward to every year. We invite all of you to attend this informative, educational and most of all fun event!
