Every Friday morning at 10:30 in the lobby of the historic Interurban Railway Museum in downtown Plano, spellbound children take a magical train ride through the tales of professional storyteller Genie Hammel and her sidekick Rags.
The 30-minute fun-filled, interactive experience is aimed at toddlers and pre-school children. However, kids of all ages are welcome and often attend.
May 25 Story Time Theme:
There's Trouble on the Tracks!
This train sees trouble ahead,
"Put on the brakes!" the engineer said . . .
Ms. Genie is a master at providing young children age-appropriate ways to learn about trains. Her stories arouse their curiosity to explore the rest of the museum, especially its model train display and interactive exhibits based on the principals of electricity used to power the Texas Electric Railway cars. There’s even an opportunity to board Interurban Rail Car 360, manufactured in 1911, just outside the train station for an imaginary trip down the line.
A parent or guardian must accompany all children. Large groups should contact us or call 972-241-2117 to ensure a spot in this highly popular program. Admission is free, but donations are always welcome!
