We invite the young and the young at heart to come celebrate the arrival of spring at the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway Museum on Saturday, April 19. Ride behind our 1904 vintage steam locomotive #10 from Sheepscot Station to Alna Center where hundreds of Easter eggs are waiting to be found. The child who finds a golden egg will get a large basket full of Easter goodies.

Trains will depart from Sheepscot Station hourly from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. To ensure that everyone has a chance to collect eggs, search areas will be divided by age: children 5 years old and under will be in one search area and children 6 and up will be in another. Each area for each train will have a golden egg. In the event that the golden egg for a trip is not found, the basket of goodies will go to the child who found the most eggs.

Since Easter egg hunts are for the young and the young-at-heart, our normal child’s fare of $4 will apply to all. As usual, children 3 and under are free.

Sheepscot Station is located at 97 Cross Road in Alna. From Wiscasset Village, take Route 218 north 4½ miles to the Cross Road. Take a left onto the Cross Road. Sheepscot Station is located at the bottom of the hill on the right. Check us out on our website at wwfry.org or call the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway at 207-882-4193.
