Pumpkin Patch Trains at the Danbury Railway Museum

October 5 @ 11:00 am - 7:30 pm

All aboard “The Husking Bee” for the 2024 Pumpkin Patch Trains!

Our well-loved annual fall fundraiser is back, perfect for families with young kids. The short 20-minute round trip stops at our very own patch, where passengers get to pick out their very own pumpkin and everyone gets to try some local apple cider and cookies. There are numerous photo ops and even a vintage tractor!

Back This Year – The 11:00 AM trains on Saturdays feature our Storytime Express, where one of two short children’s books will be read on board the train. Kids get a free copy of the book to take home!

  • October 5th – Shiny Shapes, The Pumpkin Patch (Ages 2-5)

    October 12th – Thomas and the Runaway Pumpkins

    October 19th – Peppa Pig in Peppa’s Pumpkin Day

    October 26th – Tractor Mac in Harvest Time, written and illustrated by Connecticut Local, Billy Steers

Also Back This Year – Saturday evening trains depart at 6:30 PM, just in time for a twilight arrival at the patch! Passengers will each receive a prepackaged s’mores kit and will be able to roast marshmallows over our railroad campfire. Walk through our lantern-lit patch as you enjoy your s’more, apple cider, and cookies.
