Top 10 Things To Do Before Winter is Over

When will winter be over in Indiana's Cool North? March is always that month, where it can be spring one day and winter the next.  But we have some things to do before winter is over; or perhaps we should say while you wait for winter to end.  Some of these Top 10 ideas will end with the winter weather, while others may still be available after spring arrives, but these may be good days to take advantage of the indoor ideas.  

Hesston Steam Museum

All aboard for an exhilarating day that whisks visitors back to the golden age of railroads and gives a great lesson in steam-powered engines to boot.

This museum, located in the small town of Hesston just outside of LaPorte, features three different operating trains that give everyone a taste of what it was like to ride the rails in times past.

Visitors enjoy the Steam Museum’s biggest train – a full-sized Narrow Gauge locomotive, the medium-size vintage Kiddieland train that once provided entertainment as part of small amusement parks, or a one-eighth scale of the type built by craftsmen.
