Giant Model Train Layout In Traintown USA At Choo Choo Barn In Strasburg PA | Roadside Attraction

Vlogging Day: 0376 (06/27/23)

As most passions do, the story of the Choo Choo Barn starts with a simple purchase. Returning home for World War II in 1945, George Groff bought his son a Lionel train for Christmas and set it up in his basement. Before they knew it, the train set slowly took over the entire room, and word quickly spread about the amazing layout. During the 1950’s the family opened their home to school groups, townsfolk, and during Christmas for tours of their elaborate setup. By the 60s the Goff’s needed some extra cash to help pay for college, and after noticing an old barn up for sale, George thought it might be the perfect place to open a tourist attraction around his creation. Soon the Choo Choo Barn was opened on Thanksgiving Day 1961, and has ever since been expanding and delighting visitors for over six decades.
