The theme of the holiday exhibit is traditional – trains, trees, toys, and treasured memories of holiday seasons past. This beautiful and fun tribute will run at Brookgreen Gardens starting November 20 and continue to January 2.
More trains than ever this year – both indoors and out. Christmas trees, period ornaments, and vintage toys present the Victorian era through the 1980s. Lionel, American Flyer, and Bachmann trains chug through landscapes designed and built by department staff.
New this year are views from “Toy Story”, “Petticoat Junction”, and “Green Acres”, along with favorites – “Thomas and Friends”, “The Polar Express”, and “Hogwarts”. Also returning are “Plasticville, U.S.A.” and “Night at the Drive-In”. An “Amusement Park and Pavilion” evokes the views and sounds of the historic Myrtle Beach Pavilion. Miniature lighted houses present magical displays from Dickens Village to Snow Village, to other Department 56 themes. These historic vignettes wrap the old and the new in holiday warmth inside the Rosen Galleries.
Outdoors, during Nights of a Thousand Candles, a G-scale train display will be set up on the lawn in front of the pool in the Jewell Plaza. The “Station and Roundhouse”, an “Old West Town”, and the “700 Block of Front Street, Georgetown, SC” will return in an expanded layout. All trains will run only during Nights of a Thousand Candles.
Treasured Holiday Memories Exhibit will be in the Rosen Gallery 2 & 3, and is included with daytime Garden admission, trains will not run during the day. You can purchase daytime tickets here.
During Nights of a Thousand Candles, Brookgreen Garden engineers will be running all the trains!
