Railroads both large and small from the past are the focus of Oxford's Twitchell-Rowland Homestead Museum's March displays. A mint condition c1935 Lionel train is complete with engine, coal tender, gondola, car carrier, caboose and more. The museum is also showing photos of the two New York, Hartford and New Haven Railroad stations that once accommodated local passengers from 1880 - 1930. An additional feature is a collection of children's playthings from 1930 - 1950, including Disney characters, games and wind-up toys.
