Celebrate the New Year with the whole family!
Ring in the New Year at the Museum! This Noon Year’s is extra special because it kicks off 2027, which is the 200th anniversary of American Railroading!
Start your celebration by creating your celebratory party hat and mirror ball, then head over to our Resolution Station and set your goals for the new year! We will also have fun games and music on our Roundhouse turn table!
No New Year’s Celebration would be complete without the chance to see the ball drop, make a toast (with apple juice), and celebrate with confetti poppers!
Don’t forget to commemorate this great day out with family with photos at our photo booth topped off with balloons and props.
You can also ring in the New Year with a ride on our Reindeer Railway! Departing at 11 am, this special New Year’s edition offers festive fun for the whole family. Every rider will receive a celebration necklace and a delicious treat—the perfect way to welcome 2027! Train ride tickets may be purchased on site.

WITH GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM:
“The Underground Railroad exhibit particularly made an impression. You can learn about the enslaved people who passed through Mount Clare Station as their last stop before reaching the northern states. Sobering and inspiring stories.”
