Please Touch Museum is pleased to announce the construction of Railway Play, a brand new exhibit space that will feature trains, allowing visitors to explore the main transportation systems of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, the Pennsylvania Railroad!
Children of all ages and abilities will be able to engage in cooperative play as they assemble, schedule and operate their own trains, transporting passengers to and from the 1876 Centennial Exhibition. The new exhibit-space will span the entire west side of our Centennial Exploration exhibit.
Thanks to the generous support of the 25th Century Foundation and our Members and friends, Please Touch Museum is currently constructing Railway Play. On March 1st we will launch a new webpage featuring real photos of the construction of Railway Play, and updated information about the exhibit opening in March!
