Following the tree lighting program, the Barron Arts Center opens to the region’s largest holiday train show and exhibit.

This year, the Barron Arts Center holiday train display is “on track” until December 30 (closed on Dec. 25 & 26.) If you’re stopping by to see the incredible train exhibit, plan to drop-off a food donation at the holiday express.
