It has been a wonderful Summer of 2025 on our campus, riding hundreds of happy children and adults on our small train and showing them our historical museum displays and gift shop.Â
We want to let you know that we are all dressed up for the Fall and ready to continue hosting visitors for train rides and exploration of our campus until the end of October.
Weather permitting, we will be open every Friday during September and October from 10:00am until 2:00pm., as well as Saturday, October 4th, from noon until 4:00 pm, during Mars Applefest Day.
