For such a small town, Haddam had no less than five train stations. All are long gone now, but now these stations live on in miniature. Noted local modeler (and HHS board member), Bill Schneider, has recreated ALL FIVE stations in HO scale (1/87 full size). Bill’s work has been featured in several magazines including Railroad Model Craftsman and Great Model Railroads as well as in several hobby books. These custom-built, one-of-a-kind model displays will be auctioned with all proceeds benefiting the Haddam Historical Society.
The Society gift shop will be packed with a variety of goodies including themed gifts to capture the spirit of the holidays including train-themed gifts, old-fashioned candy, Colonial -period toys, locally handcrafted goods, kissing balls, holiday cards with scenes of area landmarks and so much more. In addition, visitors can enter our holiday raffle for fabulous prizes including tickets to the Essex Steam Stream and Riverboat and Melissa and Doug train set. This is an event not to be missed.
