America the Beautiful: National Parks & Landmarks by Rail

The celebration of America's 250th birthday continues with an immersive journey through some of the nation's most treasured sites. Featuring 10 running trains, more than 850 feet of track, and 25 iconic landmarks, this is the largest and most elaborate model train exhibition ever presented at Cheekwood.

The exhibition travels from the Statue of Liberty to the Great Smoky Mountains, Ryman Auditorium, Graceland, and the Golden Gate Bridge, with each structure crafted entirely from natural plant materials.

Created by Applied Imagination, the display is located in the Bradford Robertson Color Garden for a limited time. Guests can also explore Cheekwood's permanent TRAINS! exhibition, which is open year-round.
