Polar Express and Pictures with Santa

The Whitfield-Murray Historical Society is proud to announce that the Polar Express is returning to the Chatsworth Depot on Saturday, December 6th. Dramatic readings of the book, THE POLAR EXPRESS, by local retired educator

C. L. Dunn, will take place inside the depot on each half hour. The Chatsworth Train Depot will be elaborately decorated for the Christmas Holidays. The Depot’s Big Blue Train will take riders to visit Santa at the Wright Hotel located around the block from the Depot. The hours of operation will be 12:00 noon until 4:00pm.



Highlighting the afternoon will be a model Christmas train set up and running in the freight room of the depot. Trains just seem to go with Christmas!


The Wright Hotel will also be open for tours during the same hours. The hotel will be decorated for the Christmas season and a display of vintage Christmas cards from the Hotel archives is planned.


Refreshments will be served by the Chatsworth Depot Committee members. The event is free for children 10 and under (must be accompanied by a paid adult), but a $3 donation for those ages 11 and up is requested for Depot admission. Big Blue Train rides to see Santa are free, but donations are always appreciated. The event is sponsored by the Wright Hotel Committee and Chatsworth Depot Committee.
