Over 70 years in the making, this gigantic model train layout is still owned and operated by the Groff family. Master modeler, Tom Groff, designs and adds new animations, scale buildings and local scenes each year. See a fire engine race to the rescue to put out the fire at a burning house – with real water! Watch in awe as night falls over Traintown, USA. You’ll recognize local landmarks like Dutch Wonderland and the Strasburg Railroad – in detailed miniature! This is much more than a train display – it is an amazing, hand-built work of art.

All I can say is "wow", we were not expecting such an amazing and expansive model train layout. There were so many cool details, many so intricate or seemingly natural to the surrounding elements they almost seem hidden. We did the scavanger hunt and went around a couple of times to see as much as possible. Spend as much time as you want, and come back later same day for no extra charge. Even though we did not have children, my wife and I really enjoyed it and was worth the price of admission without question.

July 2020 Great place to spend a couple hours looking at a vast antique collection with a huge variety of items. We ended up buying a few small items at a great price and really enjoyed the old rustic building. Friendly staff, as well.
