Trains are back!

Thanks to the generosity of Ruth Ann Segerstrom Moriarty

After a three-year hiatus, vintage model trains have filled the Nixon

Library once again as the centerpiece of A Whistling White House

Wonderland, a holiday celebration open now through January 7th.

The festive 24-foot wide, 10-foot tall snow-capped mountain of toy

trains features classic model trains of Christmas past – plus Thomas the

Tank Engine – whistling over bridges and chugging through tunnels

carefully handcrafted by the Train Collectors Association.

The six-track design, with more than 50 feet of rails, features an all-

American 1950s Midwestern town, with billowing factories, quaint

family homes and expansive farms.
