Visitors are welcome to take part in the continuing tradition of the Mid-Mon Valley Model Railroad Club by stopping by its Holiday Open House through Jan. 9. The open house tradition began soon after the club found its first home in the 1980s.
Each Saturday and Sunday, with the exception of Christmas and New Year's days, from noon until 5 p.m. train lovers can enjoy the elaborate, detailed layouts with trains that navigate through three rooms. Many of the scenic details are true to the area.
Also on display are historical railroad artifacts along with photographs and a view from the cab of a model locomotive as seen by the model engineer.
The suggested donation is at least $1 per person. More generous donations help to offset those who are unable to give. All donations will help further the efforts to preserve the history of the middle Monongahela Valley.
Everyone enjoys watching a train display. Visit alone, with a friend or take the family. It's fun to do during the Christmas season, but better yet to begin as a tradition.
The club is located at 159 Main, St. in New Eagle. For information, call the Werner residence at 724-379-8584.
