The last chance to see two large model train sets at Kibbe Hancock Heritage Museum in Carthage is Saturday, Jan. 8
The museum will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. on that day when the model train operators will be on hand to show the trains in action. The entire museum will be open for viewing
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.
There is no charge to enter the museum or see the displays. Aside from this special opening, the museum is currently closed for winter. It will reopen for the season on in the spring of 2022.
