Trains, Trains, Trains! Event Volunteer

Join the Southern Museum for our BIGGEST event of the year! Trains, Trains, Trains! is a two-day event on January 24 & January 25, 2026 from 8:30 am - 5:00 pm. We will have over 15 model train clubs bring their layouts of all shapes and sizes to delight visitors, young and old.

To help run the event smoothly, we will need a large number of volunteers who can help around the Museum! We need help greeting and checking-in visitors, assisting in the gift shop, train layout and education area monitors, help with kids’ craft areas and more.

Please contact us if you want help!
