Two large model train sets will be on display at Kibbe Hancock Heritage Museum in Carthage in
December and January.
The museum has scheduled three days when the model train operators will be on hand to show the
trains in action. Those days are from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 12, Saturday, Dec. 18, and Saturday,
Jan. 8.
For the past several years, Jim Morrison and Galen Wollbrink have set up their model train displays at
the museum for public viewing beginning with the Carthage Christmas Open House. The displays
include villages, people, cars and parks with many active parts.
Wollbrink and Morrison will have their large model train displays running at these times. There is no
charge to enter the museum or see the displays. All the other exhibit rooms at the museum are open for
viewing.
Aside from these dates, the museum is now closed for winter. It will reopen for the season on in the
spring of 2022.
The museum is located at 306 Walnut in Carthage, one block south of Rt. 136. See information on
