Possum Ridge Exhibit Opening

The annual Possum Ridge model train exhibit will open at the Two Mississippi Museums on December 2. For more than 40 years, the model trains and the town of Possum Ridge have been a holiday tradition delighting both children and adults. The site depicts a typical Mississippi railroad town of the 1940s and has been growing and changing since its first year. Possum Ridge will close on December 31.
