Train Day Events
Calling all train enthusiasts! Look forward to two days of train related educational fun at the Beaches Museum this September.
PABLO BEACH TRAIN DAY
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 | 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
JOIN BEACHES MUSEUM IN CELEBRATING ALL THINGS TRAIN DURING OUR ANNUAL “RIDING THE RAILS: PABLO BEACH TRAIN DAY.”
Attractions will include three operating model train layouts, a car show dubbed Cars Through Decades, and a train robber suspect search. Also, the trackless train is back this year! Hop aboard for rides through the neighborhood.
Get your crafting fix in at Make it and Take it, a station where kids can create their very own train-themed souvenirs! After creating their crafts, kids can also enjoy historic, train-themed games (brought to you by the Beaches Museum membership committee).
The Museum’s 1911 steam locomotive, the 1900 Florida East Coast Foreman’s House, and the Mayport Depot will also be open to the public with volunteers present to answer any questions guests may have.

BOARDWALK TALK: MR. FLAGLER’S ST. AUGUSTINE
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4 | 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Ahead of Train Day this year, join us at the Museum for a special Boardwalk Talk on Henry Flagler with Flagler College professor-emeritus Thomas Graham.
Thomas Graham has authored several books, including Mr. Flagler’s St. Augustine, which tells the same story from the St. Augustine from Flagler’s perspective, from his introduction to the state in the 1880s to the rise of his railroad and hotel empire spanning Florida from Jacksonville to Key West. More than just a St. Augustine story, Mr. Flagler’s St. Augustine tells the story of Flagler as a developer from St. Augustine to Palm Beach to Miami and finally to Key West.
