They’re going to fire up every operating steam locomotive in the museum’s collection and have them parade along the track that loops around the museum campus. (I’m looking forward to seeing that!)

The special event pricing is $20 for adults, $10 for children (2-15) and $15 for seniors (60+). Museum members are FREE (so maybe it’s time to join)!
