  1. Does the Museum Center still have the Model train layout. Will be coming down 15 mar for the national archery tournament and looking to visit after I get done shootin Sat .If so what time is the museum open to.

  2. Hi John, The train is on display over the holidays and I don’t believe they intend to have it open year round. It is currently not open for viewing and it will not be open while you’re here.
