Mystic Seaport Ship Modelers Model Train Show
Mystic Seaport Ship Modelers Model Train Show returns to Mystic Seaport Museum from June 19 through June 21, offering visitors a chance to explore a miniature world inspired by the maritime history and coastal landscapes of Southern New England. Held inside the Thompson Exhibition Building’s Masin Room, the three-day event combines model railroading, craftsmanship, and regional history in a family-friendly setting.
At the heart of the exhibition is the Narragansett Bay Railway & Navigation Co., a detailed 1:48-scale On30 modular railroad featuring trains traveling through coastal towns, waterfront scenes, and landscapes modeled after the character of New England’s shoreline communities. The display highlights the artistry, engineering, and attention to detail that make model railroading a favorite hobby for enthusiasts of all ages.
The event is designed to appeal to train lovers, maritime history enthusiasts, families, and curious visitors looking for something unique to experience during the weekend. Whether you’re interested in model trains, local history, or simply seeing an impressive miniature recreation of the region, the exhibit offers an engaging look at a world where railroads and the sea come together.
