FREMONT – The Christmas season begins when the “Hayes Train Special” model train display rolls into the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums on Nov. 24.
For the past 28 years, the “Hayes Train Special” has been a beloved holiday tradition at Hayes Presidential. The multi-tiered display features a variety of trains that wind through a winter wonderland reminiscent of President Rutherford B. Hayes’ day.
Admission to the train display, which is located in the museum auditorium, is free. A donation box will be available for those who wish to make a gift to Hayes Presidential for the display.
The “Hayes Train Special” will remain on exhibit though Sunday, Jan. 7. For hours and holiday closings information, visit https://www.rbhayes.org/visit-us/visitor-information/.
Visitors can watch the trains wind through a Victorian, snow-covered village. They can get involved by pushing buttons that run one of the trains, turn the Ferris wheel, send the ice skaters gliding across the pond and more.
