Description
The best way to experience Auburn Heights is to attend a monthly Steamin’ Day! Climb into an antique automobile, board one of our 1/8-scale trains, and experience what travel was like at the turn of the 20th century. In partnership with Auburn Valley State Park, tour the magnificent 1897 mansion that was home to three generations of the Marshall family. You’ll find something for everyone, age 2 to 92!
Come out the first Sunday of every month, June through November, from 12:30 – 4:30 pm. Included with all admission options are:
