Celebrating 75 Years!
On May 1, 2009, the Twin City Model Railroad Museum celebrated 75 years in the St. Paul community.
The Friday through Sunday program was highlighted by events and commemorative activities focused on the history of the Museum and Twin Cities railroading. These included a dinner for members and invited guests at the St. Paul College Club, workshops and lectures, and acustom O-scale model boxcar featuring the Museum’s 75th Anniversary logo, commissioned from Weaver Models and available for sale at the Museum giftshop. Also in the works is a book, Twin City Model Railroad Club/Museum, 1934-2009, detailing the Museum’s extensive history. The book is expected to be available for sale at the Museum giftshop later this year.
