MAMAKATING – This month, the Mamakating Historical Society in conjunction with the Town of Mamakating will feature a holiday show of toy trains. The event is for all ages and will feature multiple operating train tables accompanied by displays showing the history of model toy trains, from the early “wind-up” models on up to the electric trains of the 1950s to today. “We call these ‘Legacy’ trains since they have lasted for generations,” explained David Lewis, president of the Mamakating Historical Society. “Not only do they last for generations, but model trains help to usher in the holiday season.”

The train show will be up and running on display Sunday, Dec. 21, from 12 to 4 p.m. at the Mamakating Town Hall, located at 2948 Route 209, Wurtsboro, NY. Admission is $3 per person or $5 per family. There will be refreshments available for everyone while you take in the sights and sounds of electric trains made by companies such as Lionel, Marx and American Flyer. Who knows, it might even inspire you and your family to dust off that old train set in the attic. For more information, call 845-857-8635 or email mamakatinghistorical@gmail.com.
