Special Weekend Event Pays Tribute to National Grandparents Day

Celebrate grandma and grandpa on National Grandparent’s Day, September 11! It’s the perfect weekend to take the grands for a ride aboard the Northwest Railway Museum’s antique train. On both September 10 and 11, a grandparent rides free when accompanied by a paying grandchild – of any age! Listen to the stories and share the memories of your family members. Enjoy a day together and experience the scenic beauty of the Cascade foothills aboard the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad.
