Danville's Old 97 Rail Days

Saturday, September 25 - Sunday, September 26 2010;

Saturday, 9:00 am–5:00 pm and Sunday, 11:00 am–2:00 pm.

It has been 107 years since the Old 97 tumbled down Stillhouse trestle and into the history books. Join us for this weekend of commemoration with operating N-scale model railroads racing down the tracks courtesy of N-scale modelers from across the eastern United States. Watch for your favorite train cars as the model trains travel through detailed dioramas.

On Saturday only, check out the fully restored Norfolk and Western Caboose with our tour guide and tap your toes to tunes of old-time music performed behind Science Station.

Enjoy the beauty of the Butterfly Station and Garden and sneak a peek at the newest visiting exhibits, The Healer Within and Genomics eXplorer.

Saturday admission is $1/person or download a Smithsonian museum day pass and get in free!
