Our Missionary Ridge Local field trip excursions offer students an extraordinary journey into the world of railroads. Here, learning transcends the classroom, giving students a unique perspective on an integral part of our nation’s development.
A Ride Through Time Imagine the excitement as students step aboard a vintage train car, embarking on a journey that’s not just a ride but a leap into the past. The clatter of the wheels and the whistle of the train offer a sensory experience that no textbook can match. As the train chugs along the historic tracks, students get a firsthand understanding of how railroads shaped our country.

Our knowledgeable guides share fascinating stories and facts about the railroads, making history come alive. Students learn about the technological advancements in railroading, the people who built and operated these magnificent machines, and how these iron horses connected communities and fueled progress.
