Museum of the American Railroad Outing

Join us for a guided outdoor walking tour of the museum's train collection! This will be a great opportunity to learn more about historical rail travel, and there will be many opportunities for photos with the various cars and engines.

Due to the early start time, this is a costume-optional event. However, you are welcome to come in costume! Steampunk, Dieselpunk, Victorian, Edwardian, and Vintage would all be excellent against the backdrop of these trains! Please note that this tour is entirely outdoors on uneven terrain with no cover from the sun. Make sure to bring your hats and parasols to protect you from the elements.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 3-12.

We will follow the tour with lunch at Babe's Chicken Dinner House located at 6475 Page St, Frisco, TX 75034

13th Annual Georgian Picnic

It’s that time of year again – time for the Georgian Picnic! With an afternoon filled with charming Rococo and Regency costume, delicious food, fun period games, and lively conversation, it’s easy to see why this has become one of our most popular events! Bring your favorite picnic foods, or if you’re feeling adventurous, try your hand at an 18th Century recipe! All attempts and interpretations of 18th Century costume are welcome, from exacting recreations to dastardly pirates!

Our party will be held at River Legacy Park in Arlington, next to the Elm Grove Pavilion in the back of the park.

Address: 701 NW Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington, TX 76006

Bring blankets, chairs, food, games, family, and friends!
