Our Georgia State Railroad Museum rail operations team led by Director of Railroad Operations Terry Koller is honored to bring our antique Ford Model Station Wagon T to the Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance, October 29-November 1!

Generously donated to Coastal Heritage Society by antique automobile enthusiast and collector Harvey Geiger, this historic beauty born in 1926 is getting some extra attention from Eric Kleineweber and the Georgia State Railroad Museum team ahead of the big show.

Looking good, Eric! We can’t wait to see this 100-year-old Model T shine on Hilton Head Island this weekend.

Woodstock the bearded dragon here, with one important Frogwarts announcement: Your train ride time is NOT your arrival time!

Just because your ticket says 1 PM doesn’t mean you have to miss three hours of magical mischief. Gates open at 11 AM so you can enjoy all the festivities before your ride: potions classes, a teddy bear hospital, reptiles, owls, Kwidditch, charms, quill writing, whale wizards, model trains, food trucks, fortune telling, wand-making…..

See you Sunday, October 25th at Georgia State Railroad Museum and Savannah Children’s Museum.

It’s going to be MAGICAL. 🐉
