BLISSFIELD FAMILY EXCURSION TRAIN
|
The Adrian & Blissfield Rail Road Company offers Saturday afternoon family excursions during the warm summer and autumn months. These trips are 90-minute excursions in our climate-controlled vintage passenger cars, dating from 1937 & 1949. The excursion train leisurely travels on a segment of the Erie & Kalamazoo Railroad, which began operations in 1836 - making it one of the first railroads west of the Allegheny Mountains. Along the way, you'll travel through the rich farmland of Southeastern Michigan, which is thought to have been the bottom of an ancient lake we now call Lake Erie. Upon arriving at Lenawee Junction, imagine what it must have been like when more than forty trains a day stopped there to exchange goods and passengers bound for such places as Chicago, Jackson, Monroe and Toledo. Soon you'll be back in Blissfield, where you'll be able to casually browse the many shops in the historic business district. Tickets are just $10 for adults, $9 for seniors, and $6 for children. Advance reservations are not required, however we do suggest you call ahead to confirm availability. |
