Wilton Historical Society Hosts Magical Polar Express Night

All aboard for an enchanting evening! The Wilton Historical Society invites families to join us for Polar Express Night, a special event filled with holiday cheer and unforgettable experiences. On Friday, Dec. 20, and Friday, Dec. 27 from 6-8 p.m., embrace the winter spirit with The Polar Express and the Great Trains Holiday Show. Guests will gather around for a cozy reading of this timeless children’s classic, bringing the story to life in a festive setting. After the story, craft your own keepsake “Believe” bell ornament to take home as a memory of this special night, and remember as you ring the bell you can keep the spirit of the holidays alive!

Finally, enjoy a late-night viewing of the Great Trains Holiday Show: Explore the beloved train display — including a miniature Polar Express train — under the glow of the twinkle lights, a holiday tradition that sparks joy for visitors of all ages. Attendees can enjoy complimentary popcorn and hot cocoa, delicious treats to warm their hearts and souls, and fit right in with the characters of The Polar Express!

This is the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season with family and friends. Registration is required. Tickets are $20 for WHS members and $30 for non-members. Space is limited, so don’t miss the train! Tickets are for one of the two evenings, so choose the night that works best for you. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
