"A Holiday Festival of Trains" Pulls into The Nixon Library
Magical Exhibit Features More Than 250 Toy Trains
November 7, 2007
A playful special exhibit at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum will take visitors on a magical journey through the world of miniature trains when it rolls into town November 17 through January 6. One of the largest such collections ever assembled, A Holiday Festival of Trains features a breathtaking landscape of toy trains, many whistling through tiny snow-covered villages and forested mountain passes with over 5,000 miniature trees.
The exhibit was created through the pooled efforts and resources of the Western Division of the Train Collectors Association, the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Foundation, and the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.
The exhibit reflects months of work from local volunteers of the Western Division of the Train Collectors Association, the leading national organization of train enthusiasts whose 30,000 members are dedicated to the collecting, preservation, and running of toy trains.
