A large model train set will be on display at Kibbe Hancock Heritage Museum in Carthage on four special
dates during December and January.
For the past several years, model train displays have been set up 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.
The museum will be open during the Carthage Christmas Openhouse, Dec. 1, from 4 to 8 p.m. with the
train display of Galen Wollbrink. The full museum will be open for viewing during that7 evening.
Three additional days will allow visitors into the museum when Wollbrink will be on hand to show the
trains in action. Those days are from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10, Saturday, Dec. 18, and Saturday,
Jan. 7.
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 2023.
The museum is located at 306 Walnut in Carthage, one block south of Rt. 136. See information on
