There will be plenty of fall decorations, and a new HO model railroad layout will open to the public in the former Freight House. A Lionel-scale model layout will also be displayed in the former passenger station. The NRHS Chapter plans to sell apple cider, donuts, hot chocolate, hot dogs and snacks.

In case of inclement weather, some of the outside events and decorations will be moved to the Freight House.
