Santa In The Caboose Open House

The Kalamazoo Model Railroad Historical Society (KMRHS), a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the rich history of railroading and the art of model railroading, is thrilled to invite families, train enthusiasts, and holiday-goers to its annual "Santa in the Caboose" open house event. This beloved tradition brings the magic of the season to life aboard our BCG&A historic caboose, where jolly old Saint Nick himself will be waiting to hear Christmas wishes from children and share stories of railroad adventures.

The event runs from noon until 4:00 pm at the KMRHS Clubhouse at 9336 N. Riverview Drive in Parchment. This will be a great time to see the latest progress on the large, double deck HO Scale model railroad now nearing completion. See the layout in full motion, there will be many trains running on our mainline. Some of our railroad artifacts will be on display such as the switch board from BO tower. There will also be a 4x8 foot layout that will be available for children to run trains. Refreshments are provided, so stop by and see what your local model railroaders have been working on!


The Cooper Grain’s kit cars will be available for sale.

Admission to this event is FREE!

Hours: 12 Noon to 4:00PM
Address: 9336 N Riverview Dr, Kalamazoo, MI 49004
