11th Annual

Trees & Trains Exhibit

November 20th thru December 24th

The Salem City of Peace Garden Club’s 11th annual Trees & Trains exhibit is beautifully created by local individuals and organizations, each decorating a tree using their own creative talents. Thousands of lights and unique ornaments make this a delightful visual spectacle. Sounds of trains can be heard as miniature trains go around the track in a Christmas setting. This exhibit does have Saturday hours from 9 AM to 5 PM.

This exhibit is open thru December 24th.

Call for further information.
