Heritage Village Museum

Yesterday we bore the rain and headed across town to a heritage village museum. It is "living" museum representing the area in the 1920's. Some of the historic things were way over the kid's heads, but they enjoyed the children's play, the restored Tram (electric local train car), the carousel, the model train exhibit, and the yummy treats. After leaving the train exhibit, Jackson said to me "I like this place SOOO much!" I think the trains won him over! This museum is open year round but has a Christmas theme through the end of the year. The boys liked all the Christmas lights, trees, and music too.
Big Tram-Little guys (these were how tall the original steps were)

They were pretty impressed with the size of this thing and that they could go inside and out and ask the conductor all sorts of questions. Jackson told the conductor all about how train couplings work!

Ready to ride!

Good thing daddy rode, it was a very fast carousel!

Best shot of the day! They were flying by and it was so hard to get him smiling at me.

  1. That looks like so much fun! I'm so glad the boys got to experience that. I guess I'll have to get Jackson to explain train couplings to his Nana and Poppi - not so sure if we know how those work! Thanks for sharing - I love these posts!
