Our beloved Garden Railway rolls back into action with Garden Railway: Revolutionary Philly, celebrating Philadelphia’s pivotal role in the nation’s founding! See miniature trains wind through a third of a mile of track, including verdant gardens, handcrafted replicas of iconic landmarks such as Independence Hall, and scenes modeled after events like the Battle of Germantown.
The Garden Railway pairs naturally with Plants from the Colonial Era, a self-guided exhibition highlighting the trees, herbs, and flowers that fed, healed, sheltered, and inspired colonial Philadelphians.
Together, these two exhibitions blend history and living landscapes into a playful, immersive exploration of Philadelphia’s Revolutionary past.
