Doors Open Milwaukee is an annual celebration of Milwaukee’s architecture, history and neighborhoods. The event opens 160+ locations throughout the metro area to tour for free! Step back in time and explore one of the oldest model railroad layouts in the country at the Model Railroad Club of Milwaukee. Housed in a former Milwaukee Road Station that’s over 100 years old, this club has been running trains in the same spot since 1936. Visitors can marvel at intricate model trains built to a ¼-inch scale, some dating back to before World War II. The current layout, completed in 1950, is a true piece of history, showcasing a size of model trains that has since become rare. Why Kids Will Love It: Watching the model trains zoom along the tracks and exploring the detailed landscape is sure to captivate train enthusiasts of all ages.
