The Great Trains Holiday Show returns to the Wilton Historical Society.

The Grand Opening is Friday, Nov. 29 at 12 p.m., and the show runs through Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 20, 2025.

Model trains, holiday cheer, and family fun returns with one of Wilton’s favorite holiday traditions, the Great Trains Holiday Show! Explore the Wilton Historical Society’s 18th- and 19th-century historic buildings — charmingly decorated for the holiday season — to find multiple layouts of model trains that wind their way through miniature winter landscapes, vibrant towns, and mountain tunnels, and some familiar landmarks. The interactive displays and model holiday village are perfect holiday fun for all ages. Whether a model train builder or collector, young wannabe train conductors, or a family looking for a delightful seasonal experience, the Great Trains Holiday Show has something for everyone.

Model train gauges include G, HO, and O.

The Great Holiday Train Show will run Friday, Nov. 29 through Monday, Jan. 20, 2025.
