Scenic Railways & Autumn Splendor in West Virginia
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work in a coal mine or on the logging trains from years ago? On this tour you’ll visit an underground mine, a coal camp, and experience the hands-on exhibitions
to gain firsthand knowledge of what life was like as a coal miner. Once part of the thriving lumber industry in the early 1900s, the Cass Railway was used to haul lumber to the mill in Cass. Climb aboard as we ride this train on a trip back to an era when steam-driven locomotives were an essential part of everyday life.
This tour is filled with rich history, unparalleled views and the sights and sounds of coal mining, early American lumbering and trains. The tour includes rides aboard the CHEAT MOUNTAIN SALAMANDER with its mountain vistas and the Durbin Rocket. The Durbin Rocket train is powered by the unique Heisler No. 6 locomotive, a coal-fired steam engine with ties to West Virginia’s historic rail and logging industry. The authentic 1920s-era coaches and vintage wooden cabooses steam along the free-flowing Greenbrier River.
The trip also includes a stop in Parkersburg for a riverboat ride to Blennerhassett Island for a guided tour of the infamous Blennerhassett Mansion.
This tour is sure to please the historian and train enthusiast with nature’s autumn beauty in the Majestic West Virginia Mountains. Come join us!

Christmas in Michigan
Are you ready to get in the holiday spirit but need a little help? We have the perfect way to help you get in that Christmas spirit. We start with the 48th Annual Holiday Walk at Meadow Brook Hall. This estate was built by one of the automotive aristocracy’s most remarkable women, Matilda Dodge Wilson, and her second husband, lumber broker Alfred Wilson.
Then it’s off to Zehnder’s Dinner Show. For over 28 years the Marlins have been entertaining audiences with a wonderful holiday show. To cap off the day, relax as we drive through Bronner Christmas Light Display featuring over 100,000 twinkling lights illuminating Bronner’s Christmas Lane.
The next day, delve into all the nooks and crannies at Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland. The seven-acre building can hardly be called just a store because it’s more of an experience that you have to see for yourself. After all that shopping and exploring enjoy a holiday luncheon and estate tour at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford Estate. This holiday inspired trip is sure to have you humming Christmas tunes.
