The Morris Arboretum’s popular Garden Railway returns just in time for Memorial Day Weekend. View a wide range of both new and vintage model trains zipping in and out of tunnels and over bridges along a quarter-mile of a spectacular outdoor track

If you were planning a stay-cation this year, you are definitely in luck. This season’s theme, “America’s Roadside Attractions,” features miniature replicas of some of this country’s most iconic roadside attractions including Randy’s Donuts, the Jolly Green Giant, and the World’s Oldest Largest Pecan—it will feel like you’ve traveled all over the U.S. without ever leaving Chestnut Hill.

This year, Bruce Morrell, train master at Morris Arboretum, received the President’s Award from the Southeastern Pennsylvania Garden Railway Society for his work with the Garden Railway. His dedication to miniature trains has brought endless joy to thousands of visitors over the years.
