This Dreamy Train-Themed Trip Through Delaware Will Take You On The Journey Of A Lifetime
Delaware has a long history with trains and the railroad. Several towns, like Delmar, were founded solely around the need for a railroad stop! The days of traveling across the country in a steam engine may be over, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty of Delaware train enthusiasts – if you love the history behind the steam engine and trains that helped build our state, this road trip is for you.
The museum offers private tours for groups, or you can visit during their open house times. Learn more about the museum and the events they host here.
Trains depart in the early afternoon and can take you on all sorts of adventures. This weekend is their theater train - The Great Train Robbery - where you can participate in a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
