Railroad Museum of New England – Thomaston, Ct
Hop on board the vintage passenger cars at Thomaston Station in Connecticut to crisscross the picturesque Naugatuck Valley. Summer trains start rolling at the end of May, and families won’t want to miss the antique railroad equipment on display at the station. Walking around these historic displays, it’s hard not to feel like a kid again holding your sidekick’s hand.
