The Historic Jefferson Train Show is steaming back into town May 20-21, and is sponsored by the Jefferson and Cypress Bayou Model Railroad Club.
“This year, we’ve continued our partnership with Lonesome Dove Drive-Thru Safari,” said event organizer Normal Buell. Buell said the Historic Jefferson Train Show will include model train exhibits and vendors at the Jefferson Tourism and Visitors Center.
Admission at the tourism building will be $8. Children under 6 are free.
The weekend will include a discount at the Lonesome Dove Drive-Thru Safari. The Safari has over 500 animals in 80 different species as well as a 15-inch gauge train ride. This year’s entrance fee for the event is $10, with children under 3 free.
Train rides and each location will be subject to additional admission fees.
“We are excited to offer model trains and experiences with actual trains,” Buell said. “This year’s show should have something for everyone.”
