Southern Museum Summer Camps Feature Railroad Theme

All aboard for exciting summer camp programs at The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, located at 2829 Cherokee Street in downtown Kennesaw.

Camp will be held on June 2-6 and again on June 23 – 27, from 9 am – 12:30 pm. This year’s theme, “Working on the Railroad,” will bring the story of locomotives and train workers from the Golden Age of steam to life through hands-on activities, historic train artifacts, and the Museum’s exhibits, including the famous General locomotive. Daily activities include games, crafts, stories, and assembling model railroad layouts.

“We’re pleased to offer our most popular summer camp, “Working on the Railroad,” twice this year for all of the boys and girls out there who love trains,” said Ken Hoo, the Southern Museum’s early childhood educator. “It’s an interactive experience for young train fans where they will discover the fun of working on the railroad!”

Space is limited, so early registration is recommended. For further information, visit www.southernmuseum.org/summer-camps/.

The registration fee is $115 for museum members and $140 for nonmembers.
