A Brandywine Christmas at Brandywine River Museum




The Brandywine River Museum Railroad
presents a  Brandywine Christmas 
November 23, 2012 to January 6, 2013

With a collection of trains including 150 locomotives and 300 freight cars that run on nearly 2,000 feet of track, the model train display at the Brandywine River Museum is a popular holiday exhibition, delighting visitors of all ages. Toy trains in the collection are mostly Lionel products dating from 1915 to the present, often supplemented with trains loaned by visiting engineers. A "must see" for the youngest train fans is Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends from the Isle of Sodor, UK.

The museum celebrates the season with fabulous holiday displays including a display of antique dolls and thousands of whimsical "critter" ornaments on holiday trees.


The Museum is open daily, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except Christmas Day, and with extended hours until 6:00 p.m. December 26 through 30. 

Due to the large number of visitors during the busy holiday season, the Museum regrets that it cannot accommodate baby strollers.
