Museum To Host Christmas With The Conductor Parties
All aboard for the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania's Christmas With the Conductor parties on Saturdays, Dec. 7 and 14. Registration forms are available at http://www.rrmuseumpa.org or at the museum, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, during regular business hours.
During the events, the conductor will usher in guests for 45 minutes to an hour of holiday festivities. Each child will receive a souvenir train ticket that the conductor will punch as the child boards one of the museum's historic railroad cars for a reading of a classic holiday story. Youngsters will be able to create a seasonal take-home craft in Jack Frost Station, and they will receive small bags of special goodies.
While visitors are in the museum during the holiday event, they will be invited to send a Santa Gram to the North Pole; visit with Santa Claus and the museum's mascot, Catcher; and enjoy seasonal decorations and holiday music while surrounded by a world-class collection of about 100 historic locomotives and railroad cars.
Christmas With the Conductor parties are scheduled at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Dec. 7 and 14. Parties are recommended for children age 3 and over, who must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. Space is limited, and advance registration is required. A per-child fee has been set for party attendance, and regular museum admission will also apply.
In addition to its collection of rolling stock, the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania includes a working restoration shop, a library and archives, an immersive education center, and a store that offers railroad-related merchandise.
A Smithsonian affiliate, the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is one of 24 historic sites and museums administered by the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission as part of the Pennsylvania Trails of History, with the active support of the nonprofit Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
