Are you a train enthusiast? Did you know that this Saturday is National Train Day? Two cities in the metro area are hosting events in honor of this day.
In honor of National Train Day, plan to visit the Lee’s Summit Historical Society Museum inside the Historic Train Depot, which is open from 10 a.m. to 4 pm. Saturday, May 12. It is located directly east of the Amtrak Station (www.leessummithistory.net/museum.html) at Second and Douglas Street.
