Morris Arboretum & Gardens’ beloved Garden Railway rolls back into action with Garden Railway: Revolutionary Philly. Set within lush garden plantings, the immersive miniature landscape celebrates Philadelphia’s pivotal role in the nation’s founding.

The Garden Railway pairs naturally with Plants from the Colonial Era, a self-guided exhibition highlighting the trees, herbs, and flowers that fed, healed, sheltered, and inspired colonial Philadelphians.
