Steve Cryan’s 33rd Annual Train Show
On view from November 19, 2026 — January 31, 2027

Steve Cryan’s Annual Train Show is back for its 33rd year! Every fall, artist and train enthusiast Steve Cryan unveils a new model train layout, signaling the start of the holiday season at the Connecticut River Museum. Cryan transforms the third floor of the Museum into a wonderland of locomotives, with a large model landscape speckled with intricate buildings, trains speeding by on tracks, and boats moored on the Connecticut River. His intricate minitature world of trains enthralls the crowds of people who make a visit to the “train show” an annual family tradition.

Visitors can participate in a scavenger hunt while exploring the history of the locomotives that used to run up and down the banks of the Connecticut River through Steve Cryan’s detailed display.
