Over the weekend, the kids and I, along with Pops, visited the Behringer-Crawford Museum. According to the website, “The regional history of Northern Kentucky as part of the Ohio Valley must be preserved for the benefit of present & future generations. Therefore, the Behringer-Crawford Museum is a center for the collection, presentation, study and enjoyment of our natural, cultural, and visual and performing arts heritage.”. That’s great and all, but we mostly went for the trains. Each year the museum has an incredible display of Christmas train in addition to their everyday train displays. My dad got tickets at an auction and we were all excited to go. Especially our little train lover Mitch.
The museum was really cool and we really enjoyed it. It was very interactive and kid-friendly. They had tunnel underneath the trains where you could pop your head up in a bubble and be “inside” the display. There were buttons you could press on the side of the Christmas display that worked different parts of it and a lever that made a red trolley go back and forth. There were some really interesting exhibits outside of the trains showing some of the history of the airports and riverboats. They also had a restored street car (circa 1892 I think) to view that was pretty neat. There was a lot more to see than I expected, though we spend the majority of our times with the trains. Thank you Pops for the tickets! We made some wonderful holiday memories and we can’t wait to go back!
