Railfair

The Railroad Model & Historical Society of Southeastern Ohio is pleased to present our Annual Holiday Railfair!

During the 2nd weekend in December, our Club holds its annual Holiday Railfair to help usher in the Holiday Cheer.

While Model Railroading is a year round activity for us, Model Railroading is often associated with the Holidays in people's minds and hearts.

Seeing a train making its way down the tracks often brings back fond memories of Holidays past and never fails to bring out the kid in people. That is why our Club puts on Railfair as a gift to the community durring the season of giving.

Railfair 2025's Date is scheduled for December 13th - 14th.
