Trees and Trains 2025!
Since our current facility opened in 2010, "Trees and Trains" has been a holiday tradition for us at the South Dakota State Railroad Museum! Every year the SDSRM is packed full of magnificent Christmas trees brought in by local individuals and businesses. This year is we have over two-dozen wonderful Christmas trees along with many other decorations throughout the museum to celebrate the season and an end to our fifteenth year in operation! Come join us this holiday season, get your picture taken with Santa, and marvel at the magic of Trees and Trains!
