Saturdays – Nov 24, Dec 1, 8, 15, 2018

Experience the movie like never before!  Watch the “Polar Express” in an authentic train car. This magical holiday tale tells of a young boy who still wants to believe in Santa even though his friends have “grown out of it”. His faith is rewarded when a steam train pulls up to his house and escorts him to the North Pole to meet Santa.  While watching the movie participants will experience some of what is happening on the screen!  Ticket prices TBA (sales start September 4) (children under 2 Free with a paying adult – must sit on lap) and includes cookies, hot chocolate and a special gift.

 

Admission includes a train ride (antique equipment & weather permitting) on one of our trains as well as the opportunity to explore the museum. Late afternoon and evening attendees are asked to arrive early to enjoy the museum before the showing.

Performances times are TBA (approximately 5 to 6 showings per date).  For the best experience, we ask that you arrive early and ride the Caboose train 30 minutes ahead of your show (Train ride times TBA).

Sales start Sept 4 online at our online ticket store. Check back for the link!

The Duluth Historical Society’s annual Festival of Trees was held on the campus of the Southeastern Railway Museum for the third year. Many merchants from the local community delighted visitors with their beautiful and brightly-lit trees and the added adornments around their tree. Some organizations’ trees were decorated with themed ornaments. To see all the trees, visit the Southeastern Railway Museum’s photo album on Facebook. DHS kicked off the Gwinnett County 200th birthday celebrations by erecting an 18-foot tree with ornaments listing facts about the county through the years. Bicentennial events continue around the county throughout 2018.

The “Bright Lights 2017” tree winners are:

Best Of Show………….. Tiger Tails Animal Hospital (Duluth)
People’s Choice………. The Farmhouse (Duluth)

The money raised in the voting boxes was donated to the Village of Hope in Lawrenceville that provides food for the homeless and senior citizens. Thanks to everyone that attended.
