CARLYLE — Rusty Relics hosted its annual Train Day event on July 23.
The Rusty Relics Museum has been hosting Train Day for more than 10 years.
“It is a theme that fits in well for us as the museum is located in the Carlyle CN Train Station that was built in 1909 to 1910,” said Lauren Hume, executive director Rusty Relics Museum.
Hume and those at the museum wanted to keep Train Day going because of the joy it brings to the community.
“We have had excellent attendance with children’s events with a train theme,” said Hume.
This year’s event was held on July 23 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Rusty Relics Museum (401 Railroad Ave. West) in Carlyle.
There was no registration required for those attending. Train Day was a drop-in and go event.
Although the event was free, donations to the Rusty Relics Museum are always welcome.
Rusty Relics Museum offered tours of the caboose, rides on the rail car and train-themed activities and crafts.
Rusty Relics Museum is also hosting a few other events this summer. There will be Farm Day on Aug 7, with horse wagon rides, a petting zoo, and a visit from the snow plane exhibit. A CN train safety event will be held on Aug 20. For more information on these events, please check their Facebook page (Rusty Relics Museum).
