Steamin’ Days

 

The best way to experience Auburn Heights and the Marshall Steam Museum is to attend a monthly Steamin’ Day! Climb into an antique automobile, board one of our trains, and experience what it was like to travel at the turn of the 20th century. Tour the magnificent 1897 mansion that was home to three generations of the Marshall family. You’ll find something for everyone, age 2 to 92! 

Join us on the first Sundays of every month from June through November, 12:30 – 4:30 pm.

There will be plenty of tickets at entry, so advance purchase is NOT necessary!
