Join Beaches Museum in celebrating all things train during our annual “Riding the Rails: Pablo Beach Train Day” on Saturday, September 11 from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.                            

Activities will include three operating model train layouts, a static display of historic model trains, and antique cars from the mid1900s. A trackless train will be giving rides through the neighborhood.

All aboard for Make It and Take It!  Ride the rails to this crafty station where children can create their own Chugga Chugga Choo Choo Art and Train Day souvenir.

Tours of the Museum’s 1911 steam locomotive, the 1900 Florida East Coast Foreman’s House, and the Mayport Depot will also be available.

Boy Scout Troop #37 will be selling beverages and lunch items including hamburgers and hotdogs.
