2021 marks the 6th Ales N’ Rails celebration, which brings together local breweries and train-loving merrymakers to support the nation’s only accredited model railroad museum. During the fundraiser, all six of the museums’ model railroad layouts will be in full operation. The festivities also include beer tastings, an opportunity drawing, and an ugly sweater contest. This year marks an important milestone, as the fundraiser falls on the 40th anniversary of the museum’s first public opening in early December 1981.
