Great Trains Show

One of the most cherished of Wilton’s traditions — a visit to experience the Great Trains Show at the Wilton Historical Society! Take the children in your life to an entrancing afternoon with trains and seasonal excitement. Wilton Historical’s historic 18th and 19th century buildings are charmingly decorated and transformed into a train-lovers delight with many different model train layouts winding through tiny towns with a variety of different kinds of buildings, tunnels and all sorts of delightful animals showing up in unexpected places! The displays enchant visitors of all ages with lots of buttons to push and knowledgeable “train engineers” on hand to “talk trains”.

See a marvelous miniature winter village, twinkling with lights — a seasonal delight! Thrill to the sight of dozens of charming tiny buildings, people and activities in this amazing snow village. Teeming with skaters, children sledding, horses pulling wagons, swans swimming and even Ebenezer Scrooge in his gloomy house!

The show is open Wednesdays-Saturdays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Sundays 12-4 p.m.

Admission is free for members of the Wilton Historical Society; $5 per non-member child and $10 for non-member adults.
