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:
- Unlimited Rides: Take a spin in one of our antique autos and enjoy a ride on the Auburn Valley Railroad (1/8-scale coal-fired and diesel trains).
- Popcorn Treats: Fresh-popped popcorn from our vintage popper.
- Museum Access: Explore the world’s largest operating collection of Stanley steam cars, a working 1930s Standard gauge train layout, engaging exhibits, and the gift shop.
- Kids’ Activities: Crafts and fun activities for the little ones inside the museum.
- Firing Up Demonstration: Watch how we set a steam car in motion at 1:30 PM.
