Thank you for a wonderful 2023!
We'll see you next year aboard The Husking Bee!


All aboard "The Husking Bee" for the 2023 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!

New 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 7th and 21st will feature Thomas and the Runaway Pumpkins

  • October 14th and 28th will feature Tractor Mac - Harvest Time, written and illustrated by Connecticut local Billy Steers

Also New 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.
