 OUR 2008 SEASON HAS ENDED: ANOTHER RECORD YEAR Thank you for making the Museum's 2008 season a 5th consecutive year of increases in ridership. Over 14200 of you rode our trains representing a 3.4% increase from 2007. You visited us from 44 states including the District of Columbia and from 14 foreign countries. Thanks to the Housatonic Railroad for permitting us to run on their tracks and to all of the Museum's 100% volunteer corps who helped make it happen. Our 2009 season commences on May 23. Please check this website periodically for news and events relating to that season.  Travel back in history aboard one of our train rides of varying duration. Whether you choose the 20 mile, 90 minute round trip to Stockbridge, or the shorter, 7 mile, 45 minute round trip to Lee, you'll experience the excitement of rail travel in restored 1920's era passenger cars. The trains are powered by vintage diesel-electric locomotives from the late 1940's and early 1950's. Narration is also provided aboard the train to point out scenic spots and various points of interest. Trains operate weekends and holidays from Memorial Day weekend thru the end of October. Back at the Lenox Station, see exhibits about trains, trolleys and the mansions of the gilded age in the Berkshires. Don't forget to visit the museum store as well to purchase that perfect souvenir! |
