About this adventure
Step back into the holidays of the late 1800s at Crossroads Village, where thousands of twinkling outdoor lights illuminate historic 19th-century homes, trade shops, and craft workshops. Costumed villagers demonstrate authentic blacksmithing, candle-dipping, and holiday baking, while the Colwell Opera House hosts festive musical variety shows and children meet Santa Claus in the village schoolhouse. The centerpiece of the experience is an evening ride aboard the authentic Huckleberry Railroad steam locomotive. Families settle into vintage wooden coaches heated by coal stoves for an unforgettable 40-minute ride through the illuminated winter forest and along the edge of Mott Lake. Paved and packed walkways accommodate strollers, and advance ticket purchases are strongly recommended as train excursions regularly sell out.
