🎉 We are one big step closer to completing our remodel of the 20th Century Limited exhibit! We have our signs mounted! The next steps will be installing new lighting and setting up display cases with objects.
All of the changes made to this exhibit space will make the area more inviting and appealing, all while telling the story the "world's most famous train" much better and more cohesively than before!

We can't wait to share the final product! Make sure to stop by to see our progress in the meantime! 😉

This exhibit is made possible by support from the Friends of the NNYCRRM and Heritage Support Grants. Heritage Support Grants are provided by the Indiana Historical Society and made possible by Lilly Endowment, Inc.
