Events
As part of our education charter, the New Hampshire Garden Railway Society participates in annual public events around New England. We display one or more of our portable display layouts at these shows, which provide us with the opportunity to educate the general public on both large-scale garden railroading and the history of railways. Images and videos from past events can be viewed on our Gallery page. If you've enjoyed seeing us somewhere, please consider donating to our organization. You'd be surprised how much it takes to make these events happen.
A full calendar of our events can be found below or here. If you are interested in joining us at any event, please reach out to us or the member listed in the event's description.

Club Meetings
Our organization holds monthly club gatherings to discuss workings of the club, upcoming events, and to show off trains. From October to May, we meet on the second Tuesday of every month at the American Red Cross Blood Donation Center in Manchester, NH. Then, from May to October, individual members host the club at their private layouts where we are also able to run trains.
