The show runs until November 19, 2023, and is a "must see" Halloween experience. Fun for all ages! Happy Halloween!

Debra C. Argen and Edward F. Nesta aka The Adventure KidsTM have another adventure!

Let the summer fun begin!

We were ready for fun as the conductor called out "all aboard" for the Santa Express at the Railroad Museum of New England at the Naugatuck Railroad in Thomaston, Connecticut.

What a great way to get ready for the holidays!
