Dads ride the weekend train free when accompanied by their children! Take Dad on a fun weekend train ride with the family.
You may board the train at the Nelson Crossing Depot (the main Museum site) or at the Wabash Depot in downtown Monticello. The train ride lasts approximately one hour. Passengers may also choose to lay over at either depot to view displays and catch a later train back.

At the Wabash Depot, you can walk to many shops and restaurants around Monticello’s Courthouse Square.
