Steam Days

Visitors will have the opportunity to talk to the engineer and go behind the scenes, see the blacksmiths working and operating the power hammer, tour rail cars, watch a demonstration of the 1858 Smith & Porter Stationary Steam Engine, and learn how steam engines were used to power other machines through the use of a line shaft. Come explore simple machines, draw a hobo sign, curl up with a good book, and much more in the Locomotion Lab.
