Welcome to the
Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve

 
 

Take a step back in time to a simpler age!  Come and experience the turn of the twentieth century through the magic of steam locomotion here at the beautiful Auburn Heights Preserve!

Enjoy a stroll, or sit under the spreading limbs of the mighty oaks and poplars which surround our estate grounds.   Hop aboard the "First Bus" in Delaware -- A Stanley Mountain Wagon -- for a spin around the property in our fully restored 1915 Model 820 Mountain Wagon.

Or if you'd rather ride the train than the bus....

Step over to the station and board our 1/8 size live steam railway for a round trip on The Auburn Valley Railroad!   The Auburn Valley boasts two mighty 4-8-4 'Northern' coal fired, live steam locomotives to speed you on your journey.

And when you get back to the station you won't want to miss seeing the largest collection of Stanley Steamers you're ever likely to see! We have over a dozen Steamers -- All fully restored and in roadworthy condition.  Don't miss them!

Pssssst! Don't tell anybody else but....there's free popcorn courtesy of our steam powered popper!

But be careful while you're here though --

-- or you might get caught up in the thrill of steam power
(just like we did!) and want to become members of...

The Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve.

Fundraising Campaign

It costs a lot to maintain our working Stanley Steamer museum, and as our collection ages and parts become more difficult to obtain the preservation task becomes more difficult.  That's why each year the Friends of Auburn Heights Preserve reach out to those members of the community that share our passion for preserving and teaching about steam power asking for their support to help finance our mission.  

How can you help?  It's quick and easy.

Send us an email with your name and address and we will send you a membership package along with further information about FAHP and how your contributions can keep us operating!
