Train Fest at the DuPage County Historical Museum

All aboard! The Boy Scout Venture Crew 57 Baden Powell RR Club will set up their HO model railroads in the DuPage County Historical Museum’s auditorium on January 29th and 30th from 12 to 4pm. Crew 57 has appeared at many hobby shows across Illinois including, most recently the 26th Annual International Model Hobby Show.  This event is free and open to all ages. The Museum is located at 102 E. Wesley in Wheaton. The DuPage Society of Model Engineers will also be running the trains in the Museum’s permanent exhibit on Saturday, January 15 and 29 and February 19 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

The DuPage County Historical Museum currently exists as a facility of Wheaton Park District and houses the administrative staff as well as Museum Curator and Educator. New museum staff members were introduced in early 2009 and are currently working to plan changing exhibits, programs, and re-establish the Museum as a thriving cultural hub for the community. The Museum is free and open weekdays from 8:30 am-4:30 pm and weekends from noon-4 pm.
