Behind the Scenes Railway Garden Tour
Enjoy the Taltree Railway Garden as if it were your own. This private, behind-the-scenes tour includes a visit to the train room guided by our head engineer. This is the staging area for the dozens of G-gauge trains that run on 3,000 feet of track over nearly an acre of mountains and valleys dotted with detailed vignettes from the Steam Era of American Railroad history.
Enjoy an opportunity to run the digital command control (DCC) operated trains with help from one of our state-of-the-art remote control devices. If you’ve got a passion for trees, all the better! Join our horticulturist for an exclusive exploration of the hundreds of dwarf conifers, diminutive perennials and Japanese maples in the garden.
